Abstract

Summary

Reservoir simulation history matching is a computationally expensive process in which model parameters are varied according to guiding algorithms and simulation runs performed until the results form an acceptable match to known reservoir dynamic history. HPC has had more than a decade of successful application by speeding up each individual reservoir simulation run. In this work, a software system is described, with an example application, in which HPC application is extended into the accompanying history matching algorithms, allowing a more thorough, multi-solution approach that might otherwise not be achievable for a given time frame.
