In the final part of this three-part series, we extend our learning of Part 2 to the multivariate model and train a single model to predict three outcomes: oil, gas, and water.
This article focuses on the introduction of one of the flow-network-based models called GPSNet that has growing popularity in the literature and shows promising results during our proof-of-concept applications.
In Part 2 of this three-part series, we dive into a practical example using the production data of Equinor’s Volve field data set.

In brownfields, artificial lift methods are employed to add energy to the fluids inside the well, aiding their movement to the surface. This article overviews four popular artificial lift methods and discusses general screening criteria for selecting which method is the best for a specific well.

Mineral trapping of CO2 only occurs on geological timescales. A new technology holds promise to accelerate the pace in years.

Since the discovery of its first offshore reservoirs in the late 1950s and early 1960s, North Sea has a long and proud history in oil production and technical innovation.

As the global economy continues to grow, carbon emissions are also projected to rise. While large-scale geothermal, nuclear, solar, and wind deployment as well as increased electrification could blunt emissions growth, net-negative carbon technologies will be needed to reach the United Nation’s two-degree target. That will require massive investment in carbon capture,…

This article introduces MRST-co2lab, a free and open-source module in MRST, which can be used to carry out reservoir simulations covering the whole life cycle of a CO2 project.
-
The industry is currently injecting more pore volumes of CO2 than earlier. There is more emphasis on maintaining wellbore conditions and improving sweep efficiency.
-
The use of logistic growth models can provide a simple framework to evaluate CO2 storage scale-up and constrain outputs from existing energy systems models.

Pore-to-process simulation concept refers to coupling all production system elements such as reservoir(s), wells, pipeline network, and facilities. Pore-to-process simulation will enable several what-if scenarios evaluation, identify production bottlenecks, and optimize asset oil- and water-production rates.
