  • Publication number: 20230230004
    Abstract: An exemplary method provides matching natural gas subsurface production to contractual quantities or demand. A demand for hydrocarbons and an unconstrained supply from multiple reservoirs according to one or more unconstrained subsurface supply parameters are determined. A constrained supply is calculated according to parameterized constraints associated with wells, facilities, and processing systems of the unconstrained subsurface supply parameters according to a selected model option. Hydrocarbons quantities in the constrained supply are matched with the demand for hydrocarbons.

  • Patent number: 10571604
    Abstract: Estimates are formed of reservoir pressure between the wells for subsurface hydrocarbon producing reservoir. The estimation is based on field data and physical laws governing the hydrocarbon flow in porous media. Information from 3-dimensional fine geological and numerical reservoir simulation models, statistical interpolation between the wells, and static bottom-hole pressure (SBHP) surveys (measurement) at wells are used to more rapidly determine 2-dimensional isobaric reservoir pressure maps for times of interest during the reservoir simulation.
