Automated dynamic reservoir model initialization
Challenge
- Complex initial reservoir conditions exhibiting vertical and areal composition variation.
- Presence of tilted oil-water contact that requires advanced methods that are not available in existing software solutions.
- The workflows are not user-friendly and require many time-consuming and laborious steps to set up and initialize
Solution
This is a Petrel™ software plugin that streamlines the entire workflow for initializing reservoir models, from vertical and areal fluid composition variations to the definition of tilted contacts. The solution comprises three main modules: one for calculating vertical fluid composition variation, another for determining 3D distribution of both vertical and areal fluid composition, and a third for defining tilted contact initialization.
- Accurate model initialization: Incorporates all fluid, pressure, and saturation data for precise dynamic models.
- Faster model calibration: Minimizes time to build and refine simulation models.
- Automated data integration: Streamlines PVT data and oil-watercontact variations for rapid assimilation.
Results
Seamless integration of composition variation workflows in Petrel subsurface software.
Significantly faster modeling turnaround time.
Compatible with all reservoir simulators connected to Petrel software.
