  • Integrated reservoir optimization
    Patent number: 7953585
    Abstract: A method of managing a fluid or gas reservoir is disclosed which assimilates diverse data having different acquisition time scales and spatial scales of coverage for iteratively producing a reservoir development plan that is used for optimizing an overall performance of a reservoir.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 5, 2007
    Date of Patent: May 31, 2011
    Assignee: Schlumberger Technology Corp
    Inventors: Omer M. Gurpinar, David J. Rossi, Vidya B. Verma, Philip W. Pantella
  • Integrated reservoir optimization
    Patent number: 7739089
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of performing a numerical model study to accurately forecast a production of a well in a reservoir. The method involves determining a property distribution of the reservoir using a three dimensional (3D) structure and property model for providing an estimate of a 3D structure, wherein the estimate of the 3D structure includes the property distribution, determining a grid system, including a grid and layering mechanism that is superimposed on said 3D structure and said property distribution associated with the digital 3D structure and property model, using a 3D simulator grid system, and determining a rock model using an initial 3D reservoir simulator in response to the estimate of the property distribution associated with the digital 3D structure and property model and the grid system associated with the 3D simulator grid system, wherein the rock model is used to accurately forecast the production of the well in the reservoir.
