Surrogate reservoir models for CSI well probabilistic production forecast
Journal Title: Bulletin of Computational Applied Mathematics (Bull CompAMa) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this work is to present the construction and use of Surrogate Reservoir Models capable of accurately predicting cumulative oil production for every well stimulated with cyclic steam injection at any given time in a heavy oil reservoir in Mexico considering uncertain variables. The central composite experimental design technique was selected to capture the maximum amount of information from the model response with a minimum number of reservoir models simulations. Four input uncertain variables (the dead oil viscosity with temperature, the reservoir pressure, the reservoir permeability and oil sand thickness hydraulically connected to the well) were selected as the ones with more impact on the initial hot oil production rate according to an analytical production prediction model. Twenty five runs were designed and performed with the STARS simulator for each well type on the reservoir model. The results show that the use of Surrogate Reservoir Models is a fast viable alternative to perform probabilistic production forecasting of the reservoir.

We show that for any natural number $n$, an exponential distribution can be written as the sum of $n$ discontinuous variables and another exponential distribution, all of them independent.
