History Matching And Reservoir Optimization
Production data are incorporated into high-resolution reservoir models through conventional and fast flow simulation techniques such as streamline models. In this course, attendees will learn different history-matching workflows and their merits, including assisted and automatic history matching, in addition to exploring the many forms of production data, pressure transient test, tracer test, multiphase production history, and interpreted 4D seismic information. Field examples illustrate the advantages and limitations of these techniques.
