| History Matching and Reservoir Optimization - HMRO |
|
Discipline: Reservoir Engineering Level: Intermediate Duration: 5 days Instructor(s): Akhil Datta-Gupta |
|
This course is designed to cover state-of-the-art techniques/workflows for history matching geologic and reservoir models for both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. The course will discuss manual and assisted history matching methods and also, inverse modeling techniques and the pros and cons of the methods. The production/history data can be in the form of pressure or rate transient tests, tracer tests, multiphase production history, or interpreted 4D seismic information. Field examples will be presented to illustrate the current state of the art and limitations. The use of history matched models for optimizing reservoir development and management strategies will be discussed. These include: optimal infill well-placement, rate optimization/well allocation for maximizing sweep efficiency, and optimizing well completions in unconventional reservoirs. The course will involve a combination of theoretical discussion, practical applications, and computer exercises using public domain software to provide the participants with hands-on training on the workflows that can be applied using available commercial software. For the virtual session, course hours will be 08:00-12:00 Central US time (GMT-5:00), Monday through Friday over two weeks. This course covers both conventional and unconventional reservoirs.

Instructors: DR. AKHIL DATTA-GUPTA is Professor and holder of the LeSuer endowed chair in Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. He worked for BP Exploration/Research and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He is the recipient of the 2009 John Franklin Carll Award of the Society of Petroleum Engineers for distinguished contribution in the application of engineering principles to petroleum development and recovery. Prior to that, he received the 2003 Lester C. Uren Award of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) for significant technical contributions in petroleum reservoir characterization and streamline-based flow simulation. Dr. Datta-Gupta is a SPE Distinguished Member (2001), Distinguished Lecturer (1999-2000), Distinguished Author (2000), and was selected as an outstanding Technical Editor (1996). He also received the SPE Cedric K. Ferguson Certificate twice (2000 and 2006) and the AIME Rossitter W. Raymond Award (1992). He is co-author of the SPE textbook Streamline Simulation: Theory and Practice.' He received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Texas at Austin.
