  • Modeling fractured wells
    Patent number: 11842127
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including: receiving, by a computing device, parameters of the fractured well, wherein the fractured well comprises a wellbore and one or more hydraulic fractures extending from the wellbore; generating, by the computing device and based on the parameters of the fractured well, an equivalent complex well that represents the fractured well; and executing, by the computing device and using the equivalent complex well, a simulation that simulates the performance of the fractured well.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 12, 2023
    Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil Company
    Inventors: Ghazi Dhafer AlQahtani, Zhen Chen, Abdullah A. Hamidi, Tareq Shaalan
  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR UPSCALING RESERVOIR MODELS USING UPSCALING GROUPS
    Publication number: 20230098645
    Abstract: A method may obtain static reservoir data for a grid model. The method may further include determining, using the static reservoir data, dynamic reservoir data for the grid model. The method may further include determining various storage capacities and various flow capacities for various model layers within the grid model using the static reservoir data. The method may further include determining various upscaling groups among the model layers based on the flow capacities and the storage capacities. The method may further include generating up scaled static data using the upscaling groups, the static reservoir data, and the grid model. The method may further include generating upscaled dynamic data using the upscaling groups, the dynamic reservoir data, and the grid model. The method may further include performing a reservoir simulation using a coarsened grid model including the upscaled static data and the upscaled dynamic data.
