Abstract

Summary

Reservoir modelling and simulation are important tools that can be integrated to improve the geological consistency of the reservoir models, to understand complex flow behaviour in a reservoir and to predict future reservoir performance. This motivated the development of very specific workflows, respecting all collected data. Our proposal includes a geological modelling workflow integrated in a wider history matching workflow guided by pilot wells, an extension of the pilot point concept. The methodology is applied to the Norne field benchmark case, testing its effectiveness in a real context. Our research leads to geologically consistent reservoir models that match the production data, the static data, and the available geological knowledge, improving the geological information of the benchmark database and contributing with an alternative method for history matching based in the pilot point concept. The pilot wells flexibility shows to be a good option not only to restrict and guide the facies and petrophysical properties to specific reservoir regions but also an effective tool to generate specific sedimentary features.
