Reservoir Simulation and History Matching

It's interesting, having read your recent rebuke to someone else for being rude by not appreciating people's helpful efforts, that you seem so curt in your own responses

Sorry you feel this way - I've only got 20 years of oilfield experience, so I guess I must not know much on the topic. This is the second time you've displayed similar response to me so I'll not trouble you again with any advice in the future

I was n rude to you i just said that this is your point.
As for sharing the knowledge as you notice i share with people here who asking but to people who have they own point like you it is no sense to share because u know everything ....
so the only thing for me left is to wish you a good luck

Guys, guys, lets step back and not get over worked over "words".

I do not have huge experience in history matching but can only say this. The best that I saw was what I once saw in Denver SLB office. There you had an interdisciplinary team working on the problem. The geologist was there to retrain the reservoir engineers from making miracles happen, if you get what I mean

When the jobs are smaller the geologist would be present but working on 4-5 things and would often be out of the loop as to what the reservoir engineer was doing to the simulation model. Here things would look great on plots and maps but what was in the model was another thing

Hence, history matching can be many things in different places and different situations and different personal experiences.

wow...y'all are good!!!...makes me wonder when i'll get there..lol... am in my final year in college...just started doing a course in reservoir simulation...lots of helpful links here...THANKS...however i tried to download the heriot watt resv sim. book and it said the link was out...could u pls repost it or refer me to somewhere else i could get it..thanks again...good work everyone..

hey thanks shakespear...checking it out now..

CMOST (Computer Assisted History Matching, Optimization and Uncertainty Assessment Tool) is a tool for reservoir simulation automation under reservoir engineer's guidance. It performs four key tasks such as sensitivity analysis, history matching, optimization and uncertainty assessment.

In my opinion, basically it has same features like enABLE, MEPO, COUGAR or SimOpt but it has advantage on recall the file of cmg.dat and excel.xls. Maybe senior RE (temr, Vinomarky, Shakespears) could explain the pro-cons as I am still new learner of this tool.. I want to know also about the development of this software in the future (recent talk said SimOpt will not developed anymore as They don't work for Slb, what about MEPO and COUGAR?)..

Vinomarky, you point out that you could explore more on enABLE when you have a sufficient time to have consultation with enABLE guys, is that tool significantly help your history matching task? Are you still use it until now?


thanks and enjoy the tutorial

To answer the question does EnABLE significantly help with my history matching, the answer is absolutely - usually though not so much in terms of saving time, but in terms of arriving at a better understanding the envelope of answers and the key uncertainties. After working with it for a while, I would liken it to Excel for accountants.... accountants always were able to balance the books before Excel came out, and they still spend about the same amount of time doing it now that they have Excel, but now they can investigate and check many other scenarios and avenues that they previously were incapable of doing in the time allowed. I use it quite regularly.

Hmm... I got the point, thanks so much vinomarky
