Introduction to the special issue: Overview of OLYMPUS Optimization Benchmark Challenge

Overview of the olympus field development optimization challenge

Since the early 2000's there has been a significant focus from many groups around the world towards the development and application of innovative technologies in order to improve reservoir management strategies and optimize field development plans. Benchmark studies are a very valuable way of evaluating and demonstrating the status and...

Model-reduced gradient-based history matching

Gradient-based history matching algorithms can be used to adapt the uncertain parameters in a reservoir model using production data. They require, however, the implementation of an adjoint model to compute the gradients, which is usually an enormous programming effort. We propose a new approach to gradient-based history matching which is based...
