The instability in oil and gas prices and operators' growing needs to generate maximum returns from their assets have ensured that reservoir modelling remains a powerful and highly important decision-making tool.
Three-dimensional reservoir modelling is the standard platform for mapping, understanding and predicting reservoir behaviour, providing operators with the crucial information they need on where to drill, what production strategies to adopt and how to maximize oil and gas recovery.
The latest technology developments with WellTest Nordisk, for example, can enhance the certainty of reservoir modelling, by mitigating and understanding the uncertainty quantification in the model key inputs.
It was matured and finalized in July 2019, it includes the first post-processor software for pressure transient analysis, and enables users to quantify uncertainty on well testing results. Uncertainty management decision-making is enhanced when this uncertainty is taken into account in 3D geomodelling and reservoir modelling.
These technical innovations are leading to the consistent treatment of uncertainties and ensuring that modeling and uncertainty management remain at the center of the reservoir management workflow—modeling complex fields, increasing recovery rates and accelerating time to first oil.
Additionally it is the first software of its kind made accessible online, with an open and flexible booking platform allowing for Pay as You Use options.
The workflow generates calculations that are consistently sent to your professional email.
Besides Reservoir Management on a daily basis, and field Development Plans, it can also be used to enhance findings for Exploration Projects by adding an uncertainty definition on the productivity parameters such as PI, permeability and so forth.It will assist the simulation model for field development planning, well placement and as input to economic analysis.
Finally, our future development strategy will embrace a host of innovations over the coming months, including probability density functions on Well testing results, adding correlation between variables.
The growth in cloud computing-based collaboration and information management, for example, has the potential to usher in a revolution in how reservoir models are handled, interpreted and shared.
