Abstract: Well production rate, injection rate and pressure data are measured in an existing reservoir using in situ real time measurement gauges. Production and injection rates are entered as input to a history match model in a data processing system. Measures of projected reservoir pressure with time are generated by running the updated history match model using a reservoir simulator. Actual reservoir data values obtained at a given date or time slice from reservoir production are compared with projected data obtained from the reservoir simulator for that same date or time slice. At each time slice, the real-time pressure values measured at the wellbore are converted into reservoir pressures through a well model. The real time reservoir pressure values and the projected reservoir pressure are then used to interpolate the reservoir pressure array over the entire three dimensions using a geostatistical modeling process.

Abstract: The system and method for modeling corrosion-based multiphase flow friction in pipes is computer-implemented modeling software used to calculate the total pressure drop of a multiphase fluid flowing from an un-corroded portion of a pipe to a corroded portion of the pipe. In order to calculate the total pressure drop, gravitational deceleration, fluid deceleration, fluid friction and corrosion-based friction are each taken into account and included in the model. A conventional well, pipeline or the like is provided with a sensor, such as a fiber Bragg grating sensor or the like, for measuring an inner diameter of the pipe, and a sensor for measuring the coefficient of friction due to corrosion, such as an acoustic to resonant tensor cell tactile sensor or the like.
