Reservoir simulation
This work applies fuzzy logic, a well-established artificial-intelligence technique, to quantitatively assess connectivity between injectors and producers in a giant presalt field in the Santos Basin of Brazil.
This paper presents a reduced physics-based model that accelerates the ability to screen infill-location optimization, using the fast marching method to maximize production for a reservoir with multiple realizations.
This paper presents a case study from a mature field redevelopment project where pulsed neutron logging was integrated with advanced reservoir modeling to improve the understanding of fluid-contact dynamics and optimize new horizontal well placement.

As the development of shale oil and gas becomes increasingly significant, so does the need for modeling tools for their accurate and timely forecasting. -
Looking back through previous editions of this article, I note that, in 2011, I wrote, “there’s a growing tendency in some quarters to use very simple models.” That may be true, but there is also a growing tendency among vendors to offer models with more and more features.

Large volumes of gas can be produced at high rates with conventional horizontal- or vertical-well configurations for long periods of time from some methane-hydrate accumulations by means of depressurization-induced dissociation.

Initializing a reservoir simulator requires populating a 3D dynamic-grid-cell model with subsurface data and fit-for-purpose interrelational algorithms. In practice, these prerequisites rarely are satisfied fully.

This paper describes an all-in-one system that combines nodal-analysis and numerical-simulation models to calculate the effect of intelligent-completion components—such as swell packers, internal control valves, and inflow-control devices—on lateral production profiles.

The Kitan oil field consists of three subsea intelligent wells. The intelligent completions were modeled in detail using commercial dynamic-simulation software to establish a sound and safe operating procedure for the well cleanup and well test.
