The transformation has been expected as the human being is limited in analyzing problems that are multidimensional and there are difficulties in doing analysis on a large scale. But many companies face human factor issues in preparing the traditional staff to realize the potential of adaptation of AI (Artificial Intelligence) based decision making.\u0000 As decision-making in oil and gas industry is growing in complexity, acceptance of digital based solutions remains low. One reason can be the lack of adequate interpretability. The data scientist and the end-users should be able to assure that the prediction is based on correct set of assumptions and conform to accepted domain expertise knowledge. A proper set of questions to the experts can include inquiries such as where the information comes from, why certain information is pertinent, what is the relationship of components and also would several experts agree on such an assignment. Among many, one of the main concerns is the trustworthiness of applying AI technologies\u0000 There are limitations of current continuing education approaches, and we suggest improvements that can help in such transformation. It takes an intersection of human judgment and the power of computer technology to make a step-change in accepting predictions by (ML) machine learning. A deep understanding of the problem, coupled with an awareness of the key data, is always the starting point. The best solution strategy in petroleum engineering adaptation of digital technologies requires effective participation of the domain experts in algorithmic-based preprocessing of data. Application of various digital solutions and technologies can then be tested to select the best solution strategies. For illustration purposes, we examine a few examples where digital technologies have significant potentials. Yet in all, domain expertise and data preprocessing are essential for quality control purposes","PeriodicalId":11320,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Tue, November 30, 2021","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75185126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Berlow","doi":"10.2118/204803-ms","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2118/204803-ms","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Multilateral wells are an evolution of horizontal wells in which several wellbore branches radiate from the main borehole. In the last two decades, multilateral wells have been increasingly utilized in producing hydrocarbon reservoirs. The main advantage of using such technology against conventional and single-bore wells comes from the additional access to reservoir rock by maximizing the reservoir contact with fewer resources. Today, multilateral wells are rapidly becoming more complex in both designs and architecture (i.e., extended reach wells, maximum reservoir contact, and extreme reservoir contact wells). Certain multilateral design templates prevail in the industry, such as fork and fishbone types, which tend to be populated throughout the reservoir of interest with no significant changes to the original architecture and, therefore, may not fully realize the reservoir's potential. Placement of optimal multilateral wells is a multivariable problem, which is a function of determining the best well locations and trajectories in a hydrocarbon reservoir with the ultimate objectives of maximizing productivity and recovery. The placement of the multilateral wells can be subject to many constraints such as the number of wells required, maximum length limits, and overall economics.\u0000 This paper introduces a novel technology for placement of multilateral wells in hydrocarbon reservoirs utilizing a transshipment network optimization approach. This method generates scenarios of multiple wells with different designs honoring the most favorable completion points in a reservoir. In addition, the algorithm was developed to find the most favorable locations and trajectories for the multilateral wells in both local and global terms. A partitioning algorithm is uniquely utilized to reduce the computational cost of the process. The proposed method will not only create different multilateral designs; it will justify the trajectories of every borehole section generated.\u0000 The innovative method is capable of constructing hundreds of multilateral wells with design variations in large-scale reservoirs. As the complexity of the reservoirs (e.g., active forces that influence fluid mobility) and heterogeneity dictate variability in performance at different area of the reservoir, multilateral wells should be constructed to capture the most productive zones. The new method also allows different levels of branching for the laterals (i.e., laterals can emanate from the motherbore, from other laterals or from subsequent branches). These features set the stage for a new generation of multilateral wells to achieve the most effective reservoir contact.","PeriodicalId":11320,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Tue, November 30, 2021","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72609964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The need for running these types of tools is generally driven by the need to perform a negative test on a liner top and achieve high flow rates necessary to hydraulically remove debris from the well. Combining these operations into a single run is an increasingly common method to reduce rig time and cost for the operator. Tools to perform this type of operation are generally available from many service providers, however difficulties and challenges arise when trying to manipulate two different tools in the same string that function by the same compression set method. These operations do have a history that is partially successful, however on a long term basis reliability is generally considered poor by most operators, as a failure to manipulate the tools correctly can result in a failed run and a trip out of the hole.

We generalize the AI-aided classification workflow into five major steps including data collection, preprocessing, feature engineering, model learning cycle, and model prediction.

For performance analysis, we also compare the developed model with a support vector machine approach.\u0000 We examine the AI-aided workflow on a large open dataset acquired from a real complex reservoir in Alberta. The dataset contains a collection of well-log measurements over a couple of thousands of wells. The experimental results demonstrate the high efficiency and scalability of the developed framework for automatic facies classification with reasonable accuracy.

As a result, the predicted production behavior using conventional simulation often does not agree with the observed field performance data. The discrepancy is caused by potential errors in the simulation model and the physical processes that take place in complex fractured rocks subjected to hydraulic fracturing. Additionally, other field data such as well logs and drilling parameters containing important information about reservoir condition and reservoir characteristics are not conveniently integrated into existing simulation models. In this paper, we discuss the development of a deep learning model to learn the errors in simulation-based performance prediction in unconventional reservoirs. Once trained, the model is expected to forecast the performance response of a well by augmenting physics-based predictions with the learned prediction errors from the deep learning model. To learn the discrepancy between simulated and observed production data, a simulation dataset is generated by using formation, completion, and fluid properties as input to an imperfect physics-based simulation model. The difference between the resulting simulated responses and observed field data, together with collected field data (i.e. well logs, drilling parameters), is then used to train a deep learning model to learn the prediction errors of the imperfect physical model. Deep convolutional autoencoder architectures are used to map the simulated and observed production responses into a low-dimensional manifold, where a regression model is trained to learn the mapping between collected field data and the simulated data in the latent space. The proposed method leverages deep learning models to account for prediction errors originating from potentially missing physical phenomena, simulation inputs, and reservoir description.

The enhanced oil recovery performance of ACP flood has been studied at core and reservoir scale in detail, however, the effect of ACP flood on residual oil saturation in the swept area still lacks enough research. Medical computed tomography (Medical-CT) scan and micro computed tomography (Micro-CT) scan are used in combination to visualize micro-scale flow and reveal the mechanisms of residual oil reduction during ACP flood. The heterogeneous cores containing two layers of different permeability are used for coreflood experiment to clarify the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) performance of ACP food in heterogeneous reservoirs. The oil saturation is monitored by Medical-CT. Then, two core samples are drilled in each core after flooding and the decrease of residual oil saturation caused by ACP flood is further quantified by Micro-CT imageing. Results show that ACP flood is 14.5% oil recovery higher than alkaline-cosolvent (AC) flood (68.9%) in high permeability layers, 17.9% higher than AC flood (26.3%) in low permeability layers. Compared with AC flood, ACP flood shows a more uniform displacement front, which implies that the injected polymer effectively weakened the viscosity fingering.

However, the deferred production associated with buildups discourages regular application of PTA to determine skin and identify boundary conditions. Several case studies are presented covering a range of well configurations to illustrate how downhole transient liquid rate measurements with electrical submersible pump (ESP) gauges enable PTA during drawdown and therefore real-time optimization.\u0000 The calculation of high-frequency transient flow rates using ESP gauge real-time data is based on the principle that the power absorbed by the pump is equal to that generated by the motor. This technique is independent of fluid specific gravity and therefore is self-calibrating with changes in water cut and phase segregation. Analytical equations ensure that the physics is always respected, thereby providing the necessary repeatability. The combination of downhole transient high-frequency flow rate and permanent pressure gauge data enables PTA using commonly available analytical techniques and software, especially because superposition time is calculated accurately.\u0000 The availability of continuous production history brings significant value for PTA. It makes it possible to perform history matching and to deploy semilog analysis using an accurate set of superposition time functions. However, the application of log-log analysis techniques is usually more challenging because of imperfections in input data such as noise, oversimplified production history, time-synchronization issues, or wellbore effects. These limitations are solved by utilizing high-frequency downhole data from ESP. This is possible first as superposition time is effectively an integral function, which dampens any noise in the flow rate signal. Another important finding is that wellbore effects in subhydrostatic wells are less impactful in drawdowns than in buildups where compressibility and redistribution can mask reservoir response. Key reservoir properties, in particular mobility, can nearly always be estimated, leading to better skin factor determination even without downhole shut-in. Finally, with the constraint of production deferment eliminated, drawdowns can be monitored for extended durations to identify boundaries and to perform time-lapse interpretation more efficiently. Confirming a constant pressure boundary or a change in skin enables more effective and proactive production management. In all cases considered, a complete analysis was possible, including buildup and drawdown data comparison.\u0000 With the development of downhole flow rate calculation technology, it is now possible to provide full inflow characterization in a matter of days following an ESP workover, without any additional hardware or staff mobilization to the wellsite and no deferred production.
