Abstract

Abstract

To achieve high recovery rates, modern-day production management can benefit from not only snapshot images of the state of the reservoir at regular time intervals, but also continuous monitoring of the dynamic processes induced by pressure changes and fluid movement during production. Production management using time-lapse 4D snapshots is reactive, i.e., adjustments addressing the sweep efficiency or reservoir integrity can only be instigated once the next snapshot image is available after acquisition, processing and interpretation, often years later. For a more proactive reservoir management, it is important to have dynamic reservoir information in real time between the seismic time-lapse snapshots. Such information is contained in microseismic monitoring data and in surface or borehole deformation measurements. If sensors are permanently installed, this information comes at a negligible additional cost, provided that the data can be transferred to shore in real-time and processed automatically.
