Real-world reservoirs are layered, heterogeneous and anisotropic,
exposed to water and gas drives, faults, barriers and fractures.
They are produced by systems of vertical, deviated, horizontal and
multilateral wells whose locations, sizes, shapes and topologies
are dictated "on the fly, at random"by petroleum engineers and
drillers at well sites. Wells may be pressure or rate-constrained,
with these roles re-assigned during simulation with older laterals
shut-in, newer wells drilled and brought on stream, and so on. And
all are subject to steady and transient production, each satisfying
different physical and mathematical laws, making reservoir
simulation an art difficult to master and introducing numerous
barriers to entry. All of these important processes can now be
simulated in any order using rapid, stable and accurate
computational models developed over two decades. And what if it
were further possible to sketch complicated geologies and
lithologies, plus equally complex systems of general wells,
layer-by-layer using Windows Notepad? And with no prior reservoir
simulation experience and only passing exposure to reservoir
engineering principles? Have the user press "Simulate," and
literally, within minutes, produce complicated field-wide results,
production forecasts, and detailed three-dimensional color pressure
plots from integrated graphics algorithms? Developed over years of
research, this possibility has become reality. The author, an
M.I.T. trained scientist who has authored fifteen original research
books, over a hundred papers and forty patents, winner of a
prestigious British Petroleum Chairman's Innovation Award in
reservoir engineering and a record five awards from the United
States Department of Energy, has delivered just such a product,
making real-time planning at the well-site simple and practical.
Workflows developed from experience as a practicing reservoir
engineer are incorporated into "intelligent menus" that make
in-depth understanding of simulation principles and readings of
user manuals unnecessary. This volume describes new technology for
down-to-earth problems using numerous examples performed with our
state-of-the-art simulator, one that is available separately at
affordable cost and requiring only simple Intel Core i5 computers
without specialized graphics boards. The new methods are rigorous,
validated and well-documented and are now available for broad
petroleum industry application.
