Good reservoir engineering requires integrating geology with production/injection data as well as experience/judgement data. Good project management also means that you need to understand production systems as well as reservoir dynamics. The outcomes are heavily influenced by underlying assumptions, underscoring the need for a comprehensive understanding to ensure accuracy and precision. It is critical to initially use both analytical and empirical models to build mental models, before do flow and simulation models. Analogy and empirical models can be used for quick answers as well as guide the analytical and flow simulation. Reservoir heterogeneity is a key determinant of performance. Therefore to address heterogeneity we often transition into simulation then analytical and empirical models as a precursor to simulation.
At BRE Group, we specialize in addressing reservoir characterization. We provide a comprehensive range of consulting and training services for CCUS, reservoir engineering, waterflood, primary production (HZMF+ conventional high permeability), thermal (CSS + SF + SAGD) and simulation projects. Primary and secondary production diagnosis in most cases are not always trivial processes. We draw our workflow and experience from more than 40 years of hands-on project, 100's analogies and 53 country experience.
