Description

This 1-day course explores ways to incorporate production data into high-resolution reservoir models using both conventional and fast-flow simulation techniques, and it examines the merits of various history matching workflows practiced in the industry. Both assisted history matching and automatic history matching (inverse modeling) techniques will also be covered. Field applications from various parts of the world will be discussed to illustrate the current state of the art, its advantages, and limitations. Other topics include:
 • Production data integration: Background and theory
 • Flow simulation through geologic models: Streamline approach
 • Streamline-based production data integration
 • Assisted history matching/inverse modeling with finite difference models
 • Experimental design: Background and applications
 • History Matching: Some recent developments (EnKF and MCMC)

Why You Should Attend

This course offers unique access to one of the industry’s leading contributors in the field of fast-flow simulation methods and the integration of dynamic data into high-resolution geologic models.
