FLOW SIMULATOR FOR GENERATING RESERVOIR MANAGEMENT WORKFLOWS AND FORECASTS BASED ON ANALYSIS OF HIGH-DIMENSIONAL PARAMETER DATA SPACE

摘要

An apparatus used to generate forecasts from a high-dimensional parameter data space. The apparatus comprising a reservoir model and a flow simulator module. The reservoir model comprising a plurality input variables, output variables, and at least one algorithmic model. The input variables and output variables are generated by the flow simulator module and variables from a formation and reservoir properties database and a field production database. The flow simulator module generates the at least one algorithmic model and the output variables using at least one selected from a group comprising a full-physics flow simulator, proxy flow simulator for assisted history matching, and a proxy flow simulator for field development optimization. The full-physics flow simulator and the two proxy flow simulators generate the at least one algorithmic model using at least one selected from a group comprising the reservoir model, history matching input variables, and optimization input variables.
