This approach allows to perform conditional simulations with computational complexity nearly independent of the size of the data sets. Furthermore, by using non-homogeneous operators, this framework allows to handle varying anisotropies and model complex geological structures. The model is presented and the proposed simulation algorithm is described. The methodology is illustrated through two synthetic data sets.","PeriodicalId":186806,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum Geostatistics 2019","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121342936","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}

In addition, there were risks connected to the proximity of OWC and faults possibly intersecting the wellbore.","PeriodicalId":186806,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum Geostatistics 2019","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129912854","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}

Both workflows use an iterative ensemble smoother for the data assimilation, but differ in data representation and localization method. Further, publicly available seismic data are inverted for acoustic impedance using two different approaches. In addition, correlated data noise is estimated for the 4D attributes using different techniques. History matching results are presented for selected production and seismic data, and estimated parameters are shown for one layer in the model. Both workflows demonstrate that ensemble based iterative smoothers can successfully assimilate large amounts of correlated data. Despite methodological differences in the workflows, both methods are able to make significant improvements to the data match. The work demonstrates promising advances towards assisted assimilation of big data-sets for real field cases.","PeriodicalId":186806,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum Geostatistics 2019","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134046324","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}

Sensitivity analysis is done to select the most relevant input parameters for the mud weight window. In doing so, we study how the uncertainties in the inputs affects uncertainties in the mud weight window. Our approach for this is based on distance-based generalized sensitivity analysis, and we discover that the pore pressure and unconfined compressive strength are the most important input parameters. Building on this insight, a statistical model is fitted for the mud weight window and the two main input parameters, keeping in mind their geostatistical trends and dependencies. Finally we use the fitted model to the decision situation concerning casing, in a trade-off between drilling risks and costs. We conduct value of information analysis to determine the optimal data gathering scheme at a given depth, for making better decisions about casing or not. In spite of being case specific, we aim to develop a workflow that could be applied in other drilling contexts.","PeriodicalId":186806,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum Geostatistics 2019","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131904425","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}
