Sosa, L. Gutierrez (author), Geiger, S. (author), Doster, Florian (author)Accounting for poro-mechanical effects in full-field reservoir simulation studies and uncertainty quantification workflows using complex reservoir models is challenging, mainly because of the high computational cost. We hence introduce an alternative approach that couples hydrodynamics through existing flow diagnostics simulations with poro...journal article 2022

Xiao, C. (author), Lin, H.X. (author), Leeuwenburgh, O. (author), Heemink, A.W. (author)History matching can play a key role in improving geological characterization and reducing the uncertainty of reservoir model predictions. Application of reservoir history matching is restricted by the huge computational cost by amongst others the many runs of the full model. Surrogate models with a reduced complexity are therefore used to...journal article 2022
