Abstract The main drainage strategy in Brage-Statfjord reservoir is pressure support by water injection to produce light oil. Continuous water injection is effective in maintaining the reservoir pressure and improving the volumetric sweep efficiency. However, waterflooding can leave behind large volumes of un-swept oil, mainly in the roof/attic of the reservoir. This attic oil can …

Abstract: Reliable reservoir simulation is essential for effective reservoir management in the petroleum industry, as it enables engineers to make well-informed decisions on production strategies and resource allocation. However, accurately calibrating reservoir models to match observed field data remains a significant challenge. This difficulty primarily arises from the inherent uncertainties in key parameters such as …

Abstract In this work method to improve the efficiency of the development of shallow deposits of extra-heavy oil using cyclic team stimulation (CSS) technology together with injection of catalyst for in-situ upgrading and solvent was proposed. Oil-soluble catalyst has been developed. Efficiency of catalyst was proved in laboratory. Volume and conditions of catalyst and solvent …

Before the turn of the 21st century, GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) computing was commonplace, but mostly used for computer gaming and professional graphics rendering. Now recent advances in technology have brought blazingly fast GPU computing to scores of industries, including oil and gas exploration and production. The possibility of using GPU computing for reservoir simulation …
