A New Assisted History Matching Approach for Complex Reservoirs
This article describes the integration of mathematical models (Simplex and steepest descent algorithm) with global modification (through deeply geological studies) to increase the efficiency of history matching. This method can take full advantage of the gradient-based method (fast rate of convergence) and guarantee of finding a global minimum for inverse problems. The above method is applied to the Lower Miocene reservoir at White Tiger field, a highly heterogeneous reservoir, which has been producing under a naturally edge-water mechanism. A model that covers the upper formation of White Tiger field with 27 production wells and 8 injection wells is conditioned to 23 years of production history. The new assisted history matching approach provides an excellent match between simulation results and production data.
