Reservoir Pattern Surveillance
Developing streamline-based tools for reservoir management
Reservoir Pattern Surveillance
Use studioSL's data-driven surveillance technology to make low-cost operational decisions on mature floods. Our surveillance workflow provides ROIP distributions, forecasts of rate targets, shut-ins, reactivations, and/or producer-2-injector conversions. There is no tedious history matching, meaning that you can rapidly go from model inputs to model forecast results.
Reservoir Pattern Surveillance Workflow
Well locations, production history, and geology.Well locations, production history, and geology.
Import historical production, well locations, and perforation data from OFM, Petrel, geoSCOUT, or AccuMap. Import 2D Zmaps from Petrel or Petra to build a 2D or 3D grid, or directly import a 3D geomodel from Petrel, Skua-Gocad, or other geomodeling software using Eclipse-like grid formats.
Stage 2: Field Level Calibration
With well locations, the injection and production history, and a grid defined, calculate the streamlines throughout history. The image to the left shows streamlines, as colored by originating injector, for one time interval only. Because historical well rates change, streamlines are computed at each timestep that history is defined at.
Myths of Fixed Well Patterns
Reservoir engineers define well patterns in mature floods to provide surveillance metrics on regional flood performance in an oil reservoir. For simplicity, engineers typically defined these patterns as fixed, but in this video we will show you the myths of this approach and why engineers should not define fixed patterns.
