The Role of Technology and Decision Analysis in Reservoir Management
Middle East Oil Show, 1995Co-Authors: Ganesh ThakurAbstract:Abstract The need to enhance recovery from the vast amount of remaining oil- and gas-in-place requires better Reservoir Management practices. Proper timing has a profound effect on the implementation of sound Reservoir Management technology on recovery efficiency. With this in mind, our goal should be to maximize volumetric sweep early in the project's life. Trying to squeeze more oil from marginal projects will generally yield marginal to average results. The purpose of this paper is to identify the major attributes of a successful Reservoir Management organization and program and outline critical Reservoir Management issues and technical areas, and document benefits received from a team approach to Reservoir Management. In addition, the decision analysis technique is used to look at value creation as a result of Reservoir Management activities. Any development of new Reservoir Management technology and its applications must be subjected to thorough economic screening so that use and support of such technology is justified based upon business needs.

Waterflood surveillance Techniques - A Reservoir Management Approach
Journal of Petroleum Technology, 1991Co-Authors: Ganesh ThakurAbstract:The Reservoir Management aspects of waterflooding span the time before the start of waterflood to the time when the secondary recovery either is uneconomic or is changed to an enhanced recovery. This paper reviews waterflood techniques and reports on surveillance techniques in the Management of waterflooding of oil wells.

Integrated Reservoir Management
Journal of Petroleum Technology, 1994Co-Authors: Abdus Satter, James E. Varnon, Muu T. HoangAbstract:The modern Reservoir Management process involves goal setting, planning, implementing, monitoring, evaluating, and revising plans. Setting a Reservoir Management strategy requires knowledge of the Reservoir, technology, and an understanding of the business, political, and environmental climates. Formulating a comprehensive Management plan involves depletion and development strategies, data acquisition and analyses, geological and numerical model studies, production and reserves forecasts, knowledge of facilities requirements, economic optimization, and Management approval. Implementing the plan requires Management support; field personnel commitment; and multidisciplinary, integrated teamwork. Project success depends on careful monitoring/surveillance and thorough ongoing evaluation of its performance. If the actual performance of the project does not agree with the expected performance, the original plan should be revised and the cycle (implementing, monitoring, and evaluating) reactivated. This paper presents sound Reservoir Management concepts and methods including a team approach based on integration of geoscience and engineering professionals, tools, technology, and data.

Reservoir Management: Technical Perspective
1992Co-Authors: Abdus Satter, James E. Varnon, Muu T. HoangAbstract:Abstract A Reservoir's life begins with exploration leading to discovery followed by delineation of the Reservoir, development of the field, production by primary, secondary and tertiary means, and finally to abandonment. Sound Reservoir Management is the key to maximizing economic operation of the Reservoir throughout its entire life. Technological advances and rapidly increasing computer power are providing tools to better manage Reservoirs and are increasing the gap between good and neutral Reservoir Management. The modern Reservoir Management process involves goal setting, planning, implementing, monitoring, evaluating, and revising plans. Setting a Reservoir Management strategy requires knowledge of the Reservoir, availability of technology, and knowledge of the business, political, and environmental climate. Formulating a comprehensive Management plan involves depletion and development strategies, data acquisition and analyses, geological and numerical model studies, production and reserves forecasts, facilities requirements, economic optimization, and Management approval. Implementing the plan requires Management support, field personnel commitment, and multidisciplinary, integrated teamwork. Success of the project depends upon careful monitoring/surveillance and thorough, ongoing evaluation of its performance. If the actual behavior of the project does not agree with the expected performance, the original plan needs to be revised, and the cycle (implementing, monitoring, and evaluating) re-activated. This paper provides Management, engineers, geologists, geophysicists, and field operations staff with a better understanding of the practical approach to Reservoir Management using a multidisciplinary, integrated team approach. To illustrate the Reservoir Management concepts and processes, an example of Reservoir Management for a newly discovered field is also presented.

River flow forecast for Reservoir Management through neural networks
Neurocomputing, 2003Co-Authors: Roberto Baratti, Barbara Cannas, Alessandra Fanni, M. Pintus, Giovanni Maria Sechi, N. TorenoAbstract:Abstract River flow forecasts are required to provide basic information for Reservoir Management in a multipurpose water system optimisation framework. An accurate prediction of flow rates in tributary streams is crucial to optimise the Management of water resources considering extended time horizons. Moreover, runoff prediction is crucial in protection from water shortage and possible flood damages. In this paper, a neural approach is used to model the rainfall-runoff process when different time step durations have to be considered in Reservoir Management. Numerical comparisons with observed data are provided for runoff prediction in the Tirso basin at the S.Chiara section in Sardinia (Italy).
