... Abstract This paper presents a modelling workflow to efficiently history match naturally fractured reservoirs using Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA) with application to a complex naturally fractured sandstone reservoir. Incorporated in the modelling workflow is the use of deconvolution...

... such as Monte Carlo Petrophysical analysis, conditioning of models to seismic attributes, experimental design based uncertainty analysis and assisted history matching were used to generate new static and dynamic reservoir models. The key aspect of this workflow was 20+ major static to dynamic model iterations...

... space were sufficient to train a robust proxy model. Acceptable history matches for all wells could be achieved just after the second MCMC cycle. LHC workflow allowed wider uncertainty sampling but typically poor matches, whereas MCMC proved to be a rapid & highly effective history matching...

... as simultaneously modeling the flow through the reservoir up the wellbore and through a surface network. Reservoir simulation history matching is one of the most complex and time consuming process, however, it ensures that the model developed is useful for forecasting and management decisions. By nature...
