REVELATIONS
- Assisted History Matching
Helps the user find the “best” match
of historical wells’ production, and pressure.
Varies grid cell values of selected
grid parameters for selected regions of the reservoir in search of the “best”
match.
Grid parameters can be net pay,
depth, porosity, directional permeabilities, initial pressure and saturations,
fluid contact depths.
Initial values, minimum and maximum
values for grid parameters can be set and the “best” match searched for within
these bounds.
Revelations Master will launch a
regression cycle of many try cases in the domain specified by the grid
parameters value boundaries.
On a shared network folder, the many
try cases can be simultaneously run by Revelations Run Network installed on
several computers on the network. With enough Revelations Network licenses, all
the try cases can be run in the time it takes to run one case.
Revelations Master will monitor and
get the “best” try case. From this case,
additional try cases will be launched and the regression cycles continued until
no improvement is obtained.
Revelations can also run a large
number of try cases with user specified values, or probe a range of regression
parameters with random values to find possible local best cases.
Historical observed values to match
are entered on a well basis and consist of rates, cumulatives, and pressures.
Weighting Factors can be applied to values.
Revelations Report shows the error in
matching each historical value. Tables and graphs of historical and calculated
values, incremental and cumulative match errors are provided.
The well match errors may also be
shown as bubble maps on time varying grid maps such as pressure and
saturations.
Work flow demonstrated in tutorial
movies.
Revelations
Master
Revelations
Run Network
Execution Module. When installed on multiple computers on the
network, will run simultaneously on each computer several try cases submitted
to a common shared folder.
This must be purchased for
each computer.
