Rock Flow Dynamics, a leader in reservoir simulation and modeling solutions, earlier this month took part in the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) 2023. The company’s participation included a prominent booth featuring live demonstrations and engaging presentations by company experts. At the Rock Flow Dynamics booth, seven presentations were hosted, featuring technical …

Abstract This paper describes the process and results of using machine learning to automatically determine the optimum well trajectories for a tight limestone reservoir. The study aimed to find the best trajectories to maximize gas production while following certain constraints related to safe drilling operations and surface limitations. These constraints included the available surface locations, …

Abstract This paper presents an integrated asset modeling approach for reservoir coupling of 2 Sour offshore Abu Dhabi fields with three and four complex undeveloped reservoirs for each field respectively with different fluid types ranging from low CGR sour gas to sour oil in one shared surface network (Figure 1). The proposed methodology involves the …

Recent hydrocarbon developments are generally characterised by high complexity and uncertainty with lower margins for error in an unpredictable financial market. This is further compounded by new oil and gas discoveries being typically smaller today, than in the past; highlighting the need for robust and fit-for-purpose reservoir models that accurately capture key uncertainties to inform …

Abstract Maps of organic matter distributions are an essential part of the basin modeling process for evaluation of conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon resources. This approach has become widespread for both assessment of the initial oil and gas generation potential and final assessment of the resource base. An important step in this method is pyrolysis of …
