The CSEM method, which is frequently used as a risk-reduction tool in hydrocarbon exploration, finally moving to new frontier: reservoir monitoring and surveillance. In the present work, we time-lapse interpretation workflow. One essential aspect of our workflow demonstration linear relationship between anomalous transverse resistance, an attribute extracted from data inversion, SoPhiH attribut...

rock selection in modeling and simulation studies is usually based on two techniques; routinely defined rock types and those defined by special core analysis (scal). the challenge in utilizing these two techniques is that they are frequently assumed to be the same, but in practice, static rock-types (routinely defined) are not always representative of dynamic rock-types (scal defined) in the re...

In this study a simulation-optimization model is developed for deriving operation rule-curves in drought ‎periods. To each reservoir, two rule-curves with adjustable monthly levels are introduced dividing the ‎reservoir capacity into three zones between the normal water level and minimum operation level. To each ‎zone of a reservoir and for each month of the year a hedging coefficient is introd...

The purpose of this paper is to report the first preliminary study of the recently introduced Combinatorial Multilevel (CML) method for solver preconditioning in large-scale reservoir simulation with coupled geomechanics. The CML method is a variant of the popular Algebraic Multigrid (AMG) method yet with essential differences. The basic idea of this new approach is to construct a hierarchy of ...

Service oriented modeling and simulation are hot issues in the field of modeling and simulation, and there is need to call service resources when simulation task workflow is running. How to optimize the service resource allocation to ensure that the task is complete effectively is an important issue in this area. In military modeling and simulation field, it is important to improve the probabil...

In this paper a new class of reservoir models that are developed based on the pattern recognition technologies collectively known as Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining (AI&DM) is introduced. The workflows developed based on this new class of reservoir simulation and modeling tools break new ground in modeling fluid flow through porous media by providing a completely new and different angle...

History matching is the process of updating a petroleum reservoir model using production data. It is a required step before a reservoir model is accepted for forecasting production. The process is normally carried out by flow simulation, which is very time-consuming. As a result, only a small number of simulation runs are conducted and the history matching results are normally unsatisfactory. I...

The Center for Plasma Edge Simulation project aims to automate the tedious tasks of simulation monitoring, data archival and coupling simulation codes using the Kepler scientific workflow environment. The technology has been successfully applied for migrating a combustion data archive of 10TB from NERSC to ORNL, where there were no other automated solutions for this task. This paper describes t...

Generation of naturally fractured reservoir subsurface fracture maps and prediction its production potential are considered complex process due to insufficient data available such as bore hole images, core data and proper reservoir simulator model. To overcome such shortcomings, the industry has relied on geo-statistical analyses of hard and soft data, which are often referred to as static data...
