Wellbore tortuosity is a term that has steadily increased in relevance to the oil and gas industry over the past decade, but its importance is especially clear in the current environment.
-
This article briefly reviews two examples of how the integration of data-driven and physics-based models can optimize the history-matching process in reservoir simulation and rate of penetration in drilling operations, leading to more robust and efficient outcomes.
