Course Level: Advanced / Specialised
Streamline-based reservoir simulation is a powerful and effective reservoir engineering and management tool that complements traditional simulation techniques. By the end of the course, attendees will have a clear understanding how streamline simulation can be used within their organisation, where it is best applied and what its limitations are.
New data derived from streamline simulation such as well allocation factors and well drainage/irrigation volumes are key metrics for managing (water) floods more effectively. Besides giving a new quantitative metric of flood performance, streamlines allow visualisation of injector/producer connections which is a powerful and intuitive representation of field performance that multidisciplinary teams can use to optimise recovery.
Streamlines also offer a new look at field surveillance. A streamline-based surveillance model can be constructed with minimal amount of information in a couple of hours, giving engineers a very quick, back-of-the-envelop analysis of field performance. Attendees will learn how to quickly construct such models and properly interpret the results.
Other workflows that benefit from streamline simulation are history matching, upscaling, dual-media simulation, uncertainty quantification, and polymer flooding. After the course, students will be familiar with these workflows and how streamline simulation can be used to shorten project turn around times.
Throughout the course, the fundamentals of modern streamline simulation are discussed and emphasised to give attendees a solid understanding of the theory in order to properly recognize the advantages and disadvantages of the methodology. Hands-on examples and exercises are used throughout the course to help students understand key concepts.
OUTLINE
- The theory and history of modern streamline-based flow simulation
o How streamlines have become a complementary tool to more traditional simulation approaches; advantages and disadvantages of streamlines
o The six key ideas of modern streamline simulation
o Linear vs. non-linear flow
- The use of streamlines in the traditional areas of reservoir engineering including:
o (Water) Flood management
o History matching
o Allocation balancing
o Surveillance
o Upscaling
o Dual-media simulation using streamlines
o Sensitivity on input data / uncertainty
- Hands-on application of 3DSL & studioSL to example data sets, including data provided by attendees.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This four-day course is designed for reservoir engineers and geoscientists who want a detailed background on streamline based flow simulation. The emphasis will be on recognizing opportunities where streamline simulation can be applied successfully for reservoir engineering purposes.
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
I liked the clarity in presentation with the complete technical details.
The instructor is exceptionally good in delivering the right information in the right time.
One of the best courses I have attended.
