Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract In sandstone reservoirs, one of the most important challenges is the effective upscaling of a fine scale model. A conventional upscaling process is not adequate when significant percentage of shale distribution exists in the reservoir. In the fine scale model, significant discontinuity exists in sand bodies. Some sand bodies are connected to the wells, and some are not. As the fine scale model is upscaled, some discontinuous sand bodies are combined with other connected sands. This results in two potential problems: the connected volume to the existing wells increases, thus making the production from those wells more optimistic, and the production from in fill wells do not show as much additional potential since some of the new volumes which should have been connected to the new well are already drained by the existing wells. A new procedure1 is developed to overcome this problem. In a new procedure, we first determine the connected sand volume to the existing wells. We remove the dis-connected sand bodies from the fine scale model. We then upscale the model to a desired level. We simulate the flow performance till a desired time when either new wells are drilled or some well are shut-in. At that point, we start from the fine scale model again and determine new connected volume due to additional of new wells. We combine the new virgin sands with depleted sands in the upscaled model and determine the saturation and pressure in the upscaled model using an appropriate material balance technique. We re-start the simulation using newly connected volume till we reach a point of drilling additional wells. The key difference between the proposed method and the existing methods, is our ability to add new hydrocarbon volumes (as well as new conductivity) in the model as a function of time. The proposed method was applied to a giant oil field in Siberia which is in turbite environment with large amounts of discontinuous sand bodies. We were able to demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method by comparing the performance of upscaled simulation model to the fine scale geologic model. As the percentage of sand decreases in a given reservoir, the difference between the conventional and a proposed method becomes significant. Using the new approach, we would be able to evaluate the infill potential much more accurately.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
