Abstract: Method of optimizing well placement in an unconventional reservoir, by obtaining a plurality of produced oil, produced water and produced gas samples from an unconventional reservoir over a period of time, and obtaining a plurality of rock samples from the reservoir. Each of those plurality of samples is chemically fingerprinted, as well as assigned time and location identifiers. This data is then used to generate a plurality of reservoir maps over time and those maps then used to optimizing well placement in the reservoir.

Abstract: A computer-implemented reservoir prediction system, method, and software are provided for modeling the behavior of non-Newtonian fluids in subterranean reservoirs while accounting for shear-rate dependent viscosity and permeability reduction with a skin zone characterized by a traditional skin factor and an apparent skin factor. A non-Newtonian fluid injection pressure or a non-Newtonian fluid injection rate is computed at steady-state responsive to reservoir data associated with a subterranean reservoir, injection data for a non-Newtonian fluid, and fluid data for the non-Newtonian fluid. The shear-rate dependent viscosity can further be applied to a well model in numerical reservoir simulation to improve the well model.
