Abstract Statoil is implementing “Fast Model Update (FMU),” an integrated and automated
workflow for reservoir modeling and characterization. FMU connects all steps and …

It is challenging to make optimal field development and reservoir management decisions
with diminishing resources and low-emission requirements. For an optimal exploitation of …

In spite of large uncertainties in the actual reservoir structure, structural parameters of a
reservoir model are usually fixed during history matching and only the flow properties of the …

We have developed a physical room-scale porous media flow rig for operating, measuring,
and visualizing reservoir flows in real time–the FluidFlower. The flow rig scale is large …

Seismic information may be used for reservoir model updates, but typically only in a
qualitative fashion. Whilst quantitative use of time-lapse seismic data may significantly …

Structural updates for a complex reservoir model require time-consuming manual work,
therefore, updates are rarely performed. This leads to an outdated model that gradually …

Optimization of well placement in changing conditions during drilling aims to ensure
maximum return on investment while constraining risk. This real-time process of drill-bit …

Traditional structural modeling methods struggle with time-consuming updates and
imprecise well placements within reservoir models. Current algorithms falter with closely …

Structural uncertainty is a key parameter affecting the accuracy of the information contained
in static and dynamic reservoir models. However, quantifying and assessing its real impact …

Ensemble-based methods are becoming popular assisted history matching techniques with
a growing number of field applications. These methods use an ensemble of model …
