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 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.
