AUTOMATED LIVE PROPERTIES COMPONENT UPDATE IN RESERVOIR SIMULATION MODEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17804043 titled 'AUTOMATED LIVE PROPERTIES COMPONENT UPDATE IN RESERVOIR SIMULATION MODEL

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a method for dynamically modeling a petroleum reservoir with multiple petroleum wells using an integrated reservoir model. Here are the key points:

  • The method starts by creating an integrated reservoir model using measurements and historical data from the petroleum reservoir.
  • The integrated reservoir model helps describe the operational behavior of the petroleum reservoir based on a set of calibrated parameters.
  • When new measurement data is obtained from a new petroleum well, the set of calibrated parameters is updated to reflect this new data within a predefined distance of the new well.
  • However, the set of calibrated parameters outside the predefined distance of the new well remains unchanged.
  • Finally, the integrated reservoir model is run again with the updated set of calibrated parameters to reflect the new petroleum well in the model.


Original Abstract Submitted

An automated method for dynamically modelling a petroleum reservoir having a plurality of petroleum wells includes: running an integrated reservoir model of the petroleum reservoir built from measurements of the petroleum reservoir and through history matching on a respective plurality of measurement data from the plurality of petroleum wells, in order to describe an operational behavior of the petroleum reservoir based on a set of parameters calibrated by the plurality of measurement data; obtaining new measurement data from a new petroleum well of the petroleum reservoir; updating the set of calibrated parameters to reflect the new measurement data within a predefined distance of the new petroleum well while not updating the set of calibrated parameters outside the predefined distance of the new petroleum well; and running the integrated reservoir model with the updated set of calibrated parameters in order to reflect the new petroleum well in the integrated reservoir model.
