Reservoir simulation
A new framework combines analytical and numerical insights, extending vertical equilibrium modeling and guiding reservoir-scale implementation, providing reservoir engineers with practical guidance for assessing accuracy across flow regimes and long-term carbon-dioxide migration.
This article from the SPE Integrated Reservoir Management Technical Section (IRMTS) examines the closed-loop IRM approach, from insight to execution to learning, and the limits of technology-driven solutions.
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.
