Abstract: A Gas Reservoir Evaluation and Assessment Tool utilizes an Analytical Engine to produce predictions of pressure values and other production data at any point in space and at any point in time in a reservoir. A computer system, such as a workstation, stores a Gas Reservoir Evaluation and Assessment software which includes the Analytical Engine and responds to input data (which includes a reservoir description and fluid properties) by generating an output record which represents a prediction of the pressure values and other data at ‘any point in space’ and at ‘any point in time’ in a reservoir.

Abstract: A model system for simulating the performance of a subterranean well, starts with a base model wherein input logging data, pressure transient data and PVT data is introduced into the base model. A numerical interpreter then calculates the predicted performance of the well. A match system compares actual performance data with calculated performance data based on the base model through reiterative loop for modifying the base model to provide a match between the actual performance data and the predicted performance data to optimize the base model. The method for generating the optimized performance data in accordance with the subject invention incorporates the steps of introducing known pressure transient data, well logging data and PVT data for the well into a base model and producing a performance prediction from the base model.

Abstract: A Single Well Predictive Model (SWPM) software based computer system stores a Single Well Predictive Model (SWPM) software. When the SWPM software is executed, the SWPM computer system will: (1) automatically produce a first specific workflow comprised of a first plurality of software modules in response to a first set of user objectives and automatically execute the first specific workflow in response to a first set of input data to produce a first desired product, and (2) automatically produce a second specific workflow comprised of a second plurality of software modules in response to a second set of user objectives and automatically execute the second specific workflow in response to a second set of input data to produce a second desired product. One ‘desired product’ is ‘3D reservoir response model’.
