This work presents a new open-source carbonate reservoir case study, the COSTA model, that uniquely considers significant uncertainties inherent to carbonate reservoirs, providing a far more challenging and realistic benchmarking test for a range of geo-energy applications. Th ...
Polymer flooding offers the potential to recover more oil from reservoirs but requires significant investmentswhich necessitate a robust analysis of economic upsides and downsides. Key uncertainties in designinga polymer flood are often reservoir geology and polymer degradatio ...
This work presents a new open access carbonate reservoir case study that uniquely considers the majoruncertainties inherent to carbonate reservoirs using one of the most prolific aggradational parasequencecarbonate formation sets in the U.A.E., the Upper Kharaib Member (Early ...

Reliable production forecasting for fractured carbonate reservoirs is a challenge. Natural fractures, adverse wettability and complex matrix heterogeneity are all uncertain and can all negatively impact upon recovery. Ideally, we should consider different reservoir concepts en ...
This paper describes the application and testing of innovative dual porosity flow diagnostics to quantitatively rank large ensembles of fractured reservoir models. Flow diagnostics can approximate the dynamic response of multi-million cell models in seconds on standard hardwar ...
There are a number of benchmark studies for clastic reservoirs (e.g. the PUNQ, SPE10, Brugge Field, Watt Field, or Norne Field models) for challenges such as EOR, testing new numerical algorithms for reservoir simulation and uncertainty quantification. To date, the only carbon ...
Fractured carbonate reservoirs are known for its complexity, this has big impact on production especially when EOR methods are used. Foam is known for its potential to improve recovery by diverting the flow to the poorly swept regions. In order to capture the uncertainties ass ...
In this paper we describe new and innovative flow diagnostics tools for dual porosity models for naturally fractured reservoirs. Our new diagnostic tools allow us to compare and rank large numbers of geological models based on their approximate dynamic response in almost negli ...
Benchmark problems have been generated to test a number of issues related to predicting reservoir behaviour (e.g. Floris et al., 2001, Christie and Blunt, 2001, Peters et al., 2010). However, such cases are usually focused on a particular aspect of the reservoir model (e.g. up ...
