.... Traditionally, the impact of natural fractures on reservoir performance has been analog-based and scaled to match production data. A new process-based numerical modeling technology has been developed that predicts the formation of natural fracture networks from structural history and geomechanics...

Multiple new play openings, and important learnings over this long history, including surprises late in play life. Effective exploration and exploitation...

... resolution model allows capturing of detailed heterogeneity in wells as well as minimizing the error associated with model upscaling. Use of smart and assisted history matching tools - coupled with the powerful hardware - make possible the use of different discriminators to quickly test the following...

... on sequential interpretation of 40 seismic data, trial and error processes and fluid flow simulation tests require a lot of efforts for integrated teams. In this context, the development of assisted history matching techniques represents a significant improvement towards a quantitative use of 40 seismic data...

Let me begin with the observation that much of the history of the Canadian petroleum industry reflects...

... Abstract. A highly fractured carbonate reservoir almost depleted by natural flow during its long production history (1929 - 1976) was repressured to its original crestal pressure in 4 years time using gas from large dome of a close by high-pressure reservoir without any compression. After...

... Abstract. A new method is presented which provides possibilities to deduce the generation and accumulation history of natural gas from 13C-values of gaseous hydrocarbons. This approach consists of two parts, a new analytical technique and a numerical model. It establishes a direct...
