Abstract

History matching is one of the most important activities during the development and management of

petroleum reservoirs. Matched models are fundamental to ensure reliable future forecasts, and give an

idea of the level of understanding of the geological and reservoir models. Petroleum reservoirs are very

complex and there are great difficulties involved in building correct reservoir models. Depending on

this level of knowledge, available production data, and complexity of a reservoir, this activity may be

very time consuming. In order to achieve matched models, sometimes little changes can be made on the

geological and reservoir models, mainly in those attributes with higher uncertainty, for example, relative

permeability curves, its distribution through the reservoir, and other parameters with few samples.

One of the objectives of this work is to perform history matching on the Norne Field E-segment using

Schlumberger‟s seismic to simulation software Petrel. The history match will be done based on trial and

error by modifying some reservoir properties, end point scaling and by modeling and including the

aquifer support into the system. The best history match was achieved by modifying the SWCR in the

system, modeling an aquifer support using Carter Tracy model and by modifying the horizontal and

vertical Permeabilities of the model. After the history match is achieved two prediction strategies are

developed and compared, where we did forward modeling to build some confidence level in the

reservoir model.

An Uncertainty and sensitivity assessment was done on the reservoir model to analyze the impact certain

reservoir properties have on the volume calculations and simulation results in the Norne E-segment

reservoir model. The impact of uncertainty in our Sw and contact positions on volume calculations in this

model can be seen.

The impact of the grid resolution in placing horizontal wells was also studied, a synthetic model of the

Norne E-segment was built selecting the varying grid resolutions both laterally and vertically, then

properties were upscaled to the models and a well placed below an impermeable shale zone in each

model to determine the optimum location. Using a model with a fine grid resolution enables you to place

the well in the best position in the reservoir model.

1.1 Introduction History matching is one of the most important activities during the development and management of petroleum

reservoirs. Matched models are necessary: to ensure reliable production forecasts and to increase the confidence

in understanding the geological and reservoir models.

Petroleum reservoirs are very complex structures and several uncertainties are present in the process promoting

low confidence in reservoir simulation models. During the first years of production, uncertainties still play a

major role in the process making it more complex and allowing multiple acceptable solutions. As production

increases, the quantity of data permits better matching but the complexity of the process increases because of the

high number of wells and objective functions of the optimization process, which usually are the difference

between simulation results and observed data for pressure and each of the production phases. These different

levels of uncertainty and procedures, as functions of reservoir development stages, add an extra complexity to the

usual procedures (6). Uncertainty analysis is very important when making quick and value added decisions while

developing new fields and managing older ones, in situations where capital expenses and subsurface risks are high

uncertainty analysis can be a daunting task.

1.2 Thesis Description The objectives of this thesis include:

To build a Reservoir Simulation Model of Norne field on PETREL using field and well data from Norne Eclipse input data files.

History Match the PETREL model by modifying properties, including relative permeability curves, end points, aquifer properties etc.

Place new production well and build a prediction scenario to build some confidence interval in the reservoir model.

Use multi-segmented Well option. Perform Uncertainty analysis on the Reservoir model. Run Sensitivity analysis on the uncertainties. Build a synthetic model going through an upscaling process, selecting the correct grid

resolution both laterally and vertically. Upscale Properties to one or more models. Place well optimally using appropriate grid resolution.

This work contains 8 chapters in total; chapter 2 introduces and describes the Norne field. The major

sections in this chapter gives the general field information, talks about the field geology, main

processing system, the recoverable reserves of Norne field and the drainage strategy.

Chapter 3 describes the Norne E-segment, the data used in the project, the eclipse reservoir model and

finally the Petrel model and process in which it was built.

Chapter 4 discusses history matching types, procedures and considerations made while history matching.

The history matching process done on the E-segment using Petrel is also discussed here, parameters

modified and effects.

In chapter 5 two prediction scenario‟s on our history matched model is presented and compared, also use

of the multi-segmented well option is presented and discussed.

Chapter 6 deals with Volume calculation in the Norne E-segment, uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of

the model and impact certain parameters have on volume calculations.

In Chapter 7 we have looked at the impact of grid resolution during well placement, three synthetic

models with different vertical grid resolutions have been built and a well has been placed at different

positions to find an optimum location for the well, also in this chapter different methods of optimizing

well placement has been discussed.

Finally the conclusions and recommendations of the study are summarized in chapter 8.

2.1 The Norne Field The block 6608/10 in the Norne field is the largest discovery on the Norwegian continental shelf in more

than a decade.

The field is located 85 kilometers from Heidrum and roughly 200 km from the north of the Norwegian

coast. This area has a water depth of 380 meters. Hydrocarbons in the Norne field are located in the

lower-to Middle-Jurassic sandstones, which are of a good reservoir quality. Norne lies in a license which

was awarded in 1986, and embraces blocks 6608/10 and 6608/11[2]. Hydrocarbons in the Norne field are

located in the Lower- to Middle-Jurassic

sandstones, which is of a good reservoir

quality.

The Norne field is owned by a partnership

of : Petoro AS (54.0%), Statoil (39.1%)

and Eni Norge AS (6.9%). Statoil is the

operator[13].

The well 6608/1 0-2 first penetrated the

Norne reservoir in December 1991.

Appraisal well 6608/1 0-3 was drilled in

1993 and proved the field‟s northerly

extension. Based on results from those two

wells, a development project began in

1993. Exploration well 6608/1 0-4 was drilled in a separate smaller structure north-east of Nome and

proved some additional reserves.

An oil zone of 110 meters thick with an overlying gas cap makes up the hydrocarbon column. The

reservoir is a flat structure with the crest about 2,525m below mean sea level (MSL). Reservoir pressure

is close to hydrostatic, with a formation pressure of 273bar and a temperature of 98°C at a reference

depth of 2,639m below MSL. The oil/water contact is defined at 2,688m. Reserves in-place is estimated

at one billion barrels (160 million m³) of oil and 29 billion m³ of free and associated gas.

Reservoir simulations and risk analysis suggest that the most likely estimate for recoverable reserves is

450 million barrels of oil and 15 billion m³ of gas.

Production from the Norne field in the Norwegian Sea began on 6 November 1997. Recoverable

reserves originally present were 89.2 million Sm3 oil, 14.billion Sm3 gas and 1.7 million tonnes NGL.

Out of which according to reports, remaining at 31.12.05 were 21.4 million Sm3 oil, 9.4 billion Sm3 gas

and 1.2 mill tonnes of NGL. Estimated production in 2006 was 76,000 bbl/day oil, 1.2 billion Sm3 gas

and 0.16 million tones of NGL.[2]

2.2. General Field Information

The field has two separate compartments:

Norne Main Structure (Norne C, Norne D and E-segment)

Relatively Flat with generally a gas filled Garn Formation and the gas oil contact in the vicinity of

the Not formation clay stone. The Norne main structure includes 97% of the oil in place.

Northeast Segment (Norne G-Segment)

The northen flank dips towards north-northwest with an oil leg in the Garn Formation.

2.3. Field Geology

The reservoir is around 3 x 9 km in extent, at a depth of approximatelly 2.5 km bellow the sea surface at

its shallowest; it comprised of lower and midle jurassic sandstones in a NE/SW trending horst block.

The gas cap is approximatelly 75 m thick with an oilcolumn of 110 meters. Sub-horizontal shale and

calcite permeability barriers and faulting have a major impact on gas and water injection and on

reservoir production. The reservoir blocks are separated by 4 main fault blocks. The Oil and gas is

contained in Jurassic sandstones with good reservoir qualities; porosity ranges from 20-30% and

permeability ranges from from 50md-1000md. Oil is mainly found in the Ile and Tofte formations, and

the gas in the Garn formation. The cap rock which seals the reservoir and keeps the oil and gas in place

is the Melke formation. The Not formation also behaves as a cap rock, preventing communication

between the Garn and the Ile Formations.

The present geological model consists of 17 reservoir zones. Today‟s reservoir zonation is slightly

altered from earlier subdivisions. An ilustration of the zonation from 2001 can be seen in figure 2.

Figure 1. shows the geological zonation from 2002 and 2006.

2.4. Main Processing System

The well stream will be transferred via the swivel mounted in the turret to the inlet separator, operating

at 15-20bar. Oil from this separator is stabilized in a second separation unit, operated at 1.5-2bar, before

it is transferred via a coalescer to a storage tank. Gas from the second-stage separator is compressed in

two stages, then mixed with gas from the inlet separator. All the gas is then compressed in three stages

to 280bar, for its reinjection into the reservoir.

2.5. Water Injection

De-aeration of the injection water has been eliminated, since the presence of oxygen in the injected

seawater is expected to stimulate reservoir productivity. Produced water will also be re-injected into the

reservoir. Together, with the reduced use of chemicals owing to the elimination of de-aeration, this

solution will help to safeguard the environment. Injecting raw seawater, together with the produced

water, has simplified the water-injection system, but has also required the extensive use of high-quality

materials.

2.6. Subsea System and producing wells

Subsea production facilities will comprise five well templates - three for production, one for water

injection and one for combined gas and water injection. Each template has four slots and the capacity to

tie in additional satellite wells. Flexible flow lines and risers are specified. A multifunctional umbilical

will be used to control and monitor the subsea system, to distribute chemicals and hydraulic fluid, as

well as to supply power. The templates are being installed in northern and southern groups, placed about

4,000m apart. Water depth varies between 370-390m. One production and one water-injection template

will make up the northern group. These installations are tied back to the production ship by two nine-

inch production lines, one nine-inch water-injection line and one control and service umbilical. The

southern group comprises two production templates, a combined water-/gas-injection line and two

control and service umbilical‟s. The templates in each group are positioned so that the rig can enter all

the slots without the need for anchor handling.

Figure 2.5. The Norne Sub-Sea system[2]

The field is being developed with five templates (B, C, D, E and F) at the sea bottom connected to a

floating production vessel. In 2005 an extra template K was placed on the sea bottom 150-200 meters

south of B, C and D templates. The K-template has 4 slots available; 3 for producer and 1 for injector or

producer. The first production well K-3 H is planned to be drilled during summer of 2006.

In January 2006 the Norne Field is producing oil from all 12 well slots, aproximately 15000 Sm3/d. 8

injectors have been drilled, and water is injected in all 8 wells. 68 mill Sm3 oil has been produced since

the production staterd, which is approximately 43% of the oil in place or 76% of recoverable reserves.

2.7. Resources And Recoverable Reserves Of Norne Field The most likely in place volumes and official recoverable reserves for the Norne Field are:

Gas 10.50 bill Sm3 Gas 4.50 Mill Sm3

NGL 1.60 mill Tonn NGL 0.90 Mill Sm3

Cond 0.0 Mill Sm3 Cond 0.0 Mill Sm3

Approximately 80% of the of the initial oil reserves in place on the Norne Main structure are located in

the Ile and Tofte formations. The free gas is primarly located in the Garn Formation.

2.8. Drainage strategy and well plans

The Norne Field should be regarded as a mature reservoir and plateau rates will definitely not be

achieved anymore. The reservoir performance is in major parts of the field as expected. Water cut is

rising in most of the wells. Drainage from the upper Ile reservoir has started in 3 wells, two of them

performing well. The reserve estimate in base case has been increased from 88.5 to 89.2 million Sm3.

This is based on ivestment of the K-template and the verification of TTRD Technology in 2005.

Page 19: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

However, the increase in reserves is less than the increase due to these IOR measures due to a reduction

of the estimate for reserves.

The Field is now developed only with horizontal producers. However, to accelerate the build-up of well

potential until plateau production was reached, some of the first producers were drilled vertical to some

deviated. All these wells have been sidetracked to horizontal producers.

The pre-start drainage was to maintain the reservoir pressure by re-injection of produced gas into the gas

cap and water injection into the water zone. However, during the first year of production it was

experienced that the Not shale is sealing over the Norne Main Structure, and the gas injection has been

changed to inject in the water zone and the lower part of the oil zone, and in 2005 the gas injection was

ended. The horizontal oil producers in Tofte and Lower Ile formation will be plugged and sidetracked

and drilled horizontal in upper Ile Formation just below the Not Formation shale when the water cut

becomes high (>90%) resulting in problems to lift the liquid.

The Norne field is a flat horst structure and a change in fluid contacts during production has to be

monitored by the difference is seismic signals from the reservoir zone from year to year. In this context

it is very important for repeatability that the seismic lines are acquired at the same geographical position

each time and the seismic acquisition parameters are identical to the previous surveys. For the 4D

surveys on the Norne Field, WesternGeco Q-marine active streamer steering have been used, allowing

accurate positioning of streamers for reliable repeat surveys2.

3.4 The Reservoir model of the Norne E-Segment

3.4.1 The Eclipse Model

The Norne E-segment Reservoir model is a black oil model with a gas cap and a strong aquifer, the

blocks consist of 11 by 55 grids with dimensions of approximately 134m in the X direction and 91m in

the Y direction. The model has 22 layers with an average height of 8.69m each and about 12826 active

cells. The geometry of the field has been modeled using corner-point geometry. The field has been

developed using three oil producers (E-2H, E-3H, E-3AH) and two water injectors (F-1H, F-3H).

The oil water contact (OWC) is at 2613.62m, gas oil contact (GOC) 2581.16m and a reference depth of

2355m with a pressure of 277 bars at that depth. The main properties of the Reservoir used in the

simulation are as summarized below.

Petrel is Windows based software for 3D visualization, 3D mapping and 3D reservoir modeling and

Simulation. Different reservoir simulators like Eclipse and Frontsim amongst others can be run on Petrel

and visualized, but models not created on Petrel limits its functionalities a lot. Building a Petrel case for

the Norne E-segment was therefore an important first step. The Petrel model is in many ways similar to

the Eclipse model with one major difference which is in the way the development strategy section of

both models are built. The history data, well trajectory and events data from the eclipse section had to be

extracted from the schedule section of the eclipse file and imported into Petrel to build the wells and

prepare the development strategy. Petrel does not recognize the well placement method used in Eclipse

where the trajectory of the well is traced by the centre point of the grid it is passing through. The

trajectories used in drilling the wells were gotten from Statoil and used in building them into Petrel.

4.1 Manual History Matching

4.1.1 Introduction

The history matching process constitutes a crucial phase in a reservoir study. The objective is to build a

model integrating all available data to reduce the uncertainties on reliable production forecasts. The

model must therefore not only reproduce production data by numerical simulation but it must also be as

consistent as possible with the geological knowledge of the reservoir.

To obtain a match of dynamic data, the most commonly used method consists in modifying the

parameters of the initial model, proceeding by trial and error. The initial model is usually based on

geological knowledge and field measurements. The consistency of the model must therefore be checked

against the initial geological description during the matching procedure.

The goal of a numerical –model study is the prediction of reservoir performance in more detail and with

more accuracy than is possible with simple techniques such as extrapolation. It is intuitively evident that

for a model to behave like the reservoir it must be conceptually similar to the reservoir. Significant

differences between the data defining the reservoir in the numerical model and the actual values of the

parametres governing reservoir performance will cause correspondingly significant errors in the

simulation. Unfortunatelly we seldom know enough about a reservoir to develop an acceptably accurate

model without testing it in some way and alterring it‟s properties until it passes the test. The most usefull

and usually the only available-way to test the model is to simulate past performance of the reservoir and

to compare the simulation with actual, historical performance. Modeling past performance will identify

weakness in data, suggest modifications that are needed to improve the model, and demonstrate the

quality of the reservoir description that is eventually accepted. If the changes that are made in the model

to force it to simulate historical performance are consistent with a comprehensive and rational

description of the reservoir, this process of matching history can be an especially useful and powerful

reservoir description technique.

History matching can be time consuming, expensive, and frustating because reservoir performance can

be complex with enumerous interactions that as a whole, may be difficult to comprehend. To make the

process manageable, it is useful to separate it into a number of specific, individual steps. While there is

no approach to history matching that is universally applicable, there are a few techniques that lend some

structure to the matching process.

4.1.2 Objectives of Matching Historical Reservoir Performance

The primary objective of history matching is to test and to improve the reservoir model. There are

secondary objectives, some of which may become apparent only as history matching proceeds. History

matching will contribute to an understanding of the current status of the reservoir, including fluid

distribution and fluid movement and , peharps, to verification and identification of the current depletion

mechanism. It will allow one to infer a reservoir description, including oil and gas in place, in parts of

the reservoir where there are no data, and will supply details needed to justify plans and to estabilish

objectives for obtaining data. Sometimes history matching can lead to discovery of a major operating

problem – casing leaks, improper allocation of fluids to wells, etc. In addition a well matched model that

is kept current can be an excellent reservoir surveillance tool.

4.1.3 Strategy and Plans for History matching

A core analysis and log data can define porosity and initial fluid distribution if the data are available in

sufficient quantity and quality. Permeability data usually are too limited in quantity, both areally and

vertically, to describe the reservoir adequately. Analysis of transient behavior of individual wells is a

standard technique for determining permeability around the well. For developing improved definition of

the permeability distribution of the reservoir as a whole, history matching is the method most commonly

used. Aquifer data are always extremely sparse, and is frequently necessary to use history matching to

define aquifer porosity, transmissibility and extent.

Page 31: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

23

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

4.1.3.1 Performance Data To Be Matched

In general, the data that are matched are pressure, water/oil ratio‟s (WOR‟s), gas/oil ratios (GOR‟s),

water/gas ratios (WGR‟s), water and gas arrivel times, and fluid saturations from cores, well logs, and

chemical tracer tests.

Periodic observations of shut-in bottomhole pressures are almost always available. Bottomhole flowing

pressures (BHFP‟s) are also available at times, but these data are usually less reliable than shut-in

pressures for history-matching purposes. Shut-in surface pressure can be useful if accurate fluid levels

and gradients are available to correct pressures to bottomhole conditions. Pressure interference data can

be especially useful if they are accurate enough to yeld independent estimates of between-well

permeability-thickness.

Matching historical WOR‟s, GOR‟s or WGR‟s is usually the best way to confirm the validity (even

though history matching may not identify zones that are not being swept effectivelly) of estimates of

effective zonation and zonal continuity. When the reservoir is on an early stage of depletion, or if for

any other reasons there are no direct data defining water or gas movement, one must rely heavely on

core analysis, logs, and knowledge of the depositional envinronment to develop zonation and to estimate

continuity.

Field-measured production and injection rates are normally used without alteration. There are some

special situations, however, where it may be appropriate to assume that historical producton or injection

rates are in error and to adjust them.

Oil production rates are usually the most accurate data available. Gas production in older fields may not

have been measured accurately, especially if the gas has been flared. Injection data tend to be less

accurate than production data, either because measurement errors or because fluids are lost to other

intervals as a result of casing leaks or flow behind pipe. Errors in production data may occur for the

same reasons, but they are usually discovered and corrected. If volumes are measured at central sites and

not at individual wells, allocation back to wells will be a potential source of error. Where production or

injection is commingled, allocation to individual zones will be a source of error.

4.1.3.2. Action Steps in a History Match

The steps one would normally follow in conducting a match include the following:

Assemble data on performance history;

Screen the data and evaluate their quality;

Define the specific objectives of history match;

Develop a preliminary model based on the best available match;

Decide weather the model is satisfactory. If not-as is most probable-analyze results with

simplified models or “hand” calculations to identify changes in model properties that are most

likely to improve the agreement between observed and calculated performance;

Decide weather an automatic matching program should be used:

Make adjustments to the model. Consult with geologic, drilling, and production operations

personnel, as necessary, to confirm the realism of proposed changes;

Simulate part or all of past performance data to improve the match;

Reapeat simulations until a satisfactory match of observed data is achieved.

4.1.3.3 General Strategy for History matching

Although each reservoir study will supply its own unique set of problems during a history match, the

following general strategy is usually effective:

Match Volumetric-average pressure levels. This is a first step toward confirming the overall

compressibility of the reservoir system.

It is frequently wise to obtain a history match for a complex reservoir in two stages, which could be

categorized roughly as a “gross phase” and a “detailed phase”. In the gross phase, all the history-

matching dependent variables, including pressures, saturations, water or gas arrival times, and any other

field data, should be brought within reasonable but not tight tolerances. In this phase, a more coarsely

gridded model may sometimes be used to reduce overall study costs.

Page 33: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

25

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

During this first stage, the average reservoir pressure throughout time, regional pressure gradients, and

well pressures are matched. To match average reservoir pressure, the most commonly adjusted reservoir

parameters are aquifer size, PV, and total system compressibility (and its constituents). During this

stage, material-balance studies and aquifer influx studies can aid in obtaining insight into the data

adjustments required for the history match. When matching reservoir pressures, any adjustments made to

PV affect the determination of in-place fluid volumes.

Matching individual well pressures throughout time can be attempted also in this stage. In full-field-

simulation, shut-in or buildup pressures should be used and the earliest detected problems should be

corrected first, which will prevent early-time errors from growing and masking later problems. If

pressures are matched adequately early in the life of the well but the match progressively deteriorates,

adjustments to reservoir data away from the wellbore may be required.

After this first phase has been completed, matches of pressure, contact movement, and fluid arrival times

should be brought to closer tolerances.

In the second stage, which is the most frustrating part of any simulation study because changes made to

match individual well rates may affect the quality of the match obtained during the first stage or the

quality of the match in other areas of the field. The well histories that are matched during the second

stage are water cuts, GOR‟s and breakthrough times. Because of the natures of these data all knowledge

of the reservoir geology and recovery processes must be incorporated into the study during this stage.

The objectives, of course, are to avoid making changes that are inconsistent with geological and

engineering data and to facilitate discovery of errors in field data[14].

4.1.3.4. Judging the Acceptability of a model

A general comment has been made, and not entirely in jest, that “a good history match is obtained when

you run out of either time or money”[1]. A much better guideline is to judge the quality of the match by

weather the reservoir model is good enough to permit the objectives of the study to be met. Quality tests

of a match in pressure history are generally applied at the field level, at some areal subdivision of the

field, and at individual wells. In general, the best match is expected at the field level; average field

pressures may differ from average model pressures by only a few pounds per square inch. The quality of

the match will generally be poorest at the subregion or individual well level.

Page 34: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

26

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

Pressure matches for individual wells are often acceptable if model and well pressures agree to within

±50 psi [±345 kPa] on the average. In some reservoirs, of course, such as most gas reservoirs and many

high-permeability reservoirs, a match must be much better than ±50 psi [±345 kPa] to be acceptable.

One way matching criteria can be developed is to estimate the accuracy with which a specific parameter

– pressure-must be predicted if the study is to satisfy its objectives. The accuracy of the history match

should be better than, or at least comparable to, the accuracy required in predictions. This same approach

can be used to evaluate weather an improved match would affect predictions enough to make the extra

work worthwhile.

4.1.4 Adjustment of History Matching Parameters

Making changes by guessing or by following one‟s intuition can be expensive and usually will prolong

the history-matching phase of a study. The decision to use such an unstructured approach may result

from the impression that experienced reservoir engineers develop a “feel” for the “art” of history

matching.

There are numerous papers on automatic history matching. Nevertherless, the majority of engineers

engaged in reservoir simulation use manual rather than automatic methods of history matching because

of the limitations and expense of currently available automatic methods. In fact, in most large reservoir

studies some manual adjustment is almost always required, even if automatic methods are used.

4.1.4.1. Parameters That Can Be Changed To Match History

Those reservoir and aquifer properties appropriate for alteration, in approximate order of deacreasing

uncertainty are: (1) Aquifer transmissibility, kh, (2) Aquifer storage, (3) reservoir transmissibility,

Relative permeability and capilary pressures functions.

The following additional properties must sometimes be altered, but they usually are known with

acceptable accuracy: (5) reservoir porosity and thickness, (6) structural definition, (7) rock

compressibility, (8) reservoir oil and gas properties, (9) water/oil contacts (WOC‟s) and gas/oil contacts

(GOC‟s), and (10)water properties.

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

4.1.4.2. Matching Pressure History

The first step in the pressure history match is to list all those properties of the reservoir and aquifer that

are most likely to affect the pressure history match and estimate a bounds of uncertainty for the

properties listed above. Further Steps are: Develop a criteria by which to judge the acceptability of a

pressure history match;

Complete a trial simulation of reservoir history and decide whether the volumetric average pressure of

the entire reservoir is satisfactorily matched by the model, in case is not, use material-balance, pressure

transient theory, and geologic information to estimate changes that should be made to model value of

fluids in place in the oil zone and gas cap, average aquifer properties, and aquifer size. In this stage also

reconsider concepts of the current depletion mechanism and, in particular, ascertain whether water influx

is playing a major role in performance history.

If the match is not satisfactory, analyze pressure distribution in and near the reservoir to find evidence

for heterogenous aquifer properties and nonuniform water influx. Also look for differences in pressure

distribution between the model and the field that imply the presence of sealing faults, pichouts, poor

comunication between zones and migration to or from other reservoirs.

Also change reservoir and aquifer properties (storage and transmissibility) areally with the use of the

pressure-trasient theory. Pressure errors that appear shortly after production or injection rates change can

be reduced by altering properties in or near the reservoir. Errors that are delayd in time can be reduced

by changing properties in regions more remote from the reservoir.

Errors in pressure gradients can also be corrected by locating where pseudosteady-state conditions exist,

by adjusting transmissibility.

During pressure match there are situations in which matches in pressure gradients are satisfactory for

early history but become poorer as production continues. In simulations of reservoirs producing by water

drive or water injection, this behavior may indicate errors in fluid mobilities. In this case me be

necessary to modify rock or pseudo-relative permeabilities.

Page 36: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

28

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

In general during pressure matching, permeability is the principal reservoir variable used to obtain a

match of pressure behavior. Porosity values derived from log and core data should not be changed unless

the data are sparse and of poor quality or changes in other, more uncertain, properties do not provide a

satisfactory match. Fluid contacts and fluid properties are usually established before history matching

begins and, in many cases, may be better defined than porosity. Porosity thickness in the aquifer is

usually less well known than in the reservoir itself and, within limits, aquifer porosity-thicness or the

areal extent of the aquifer may be varied to achieve a match. In general, however, permeability is the

least well defined and most effective reservoir parameter to vary. Some permeability values may be

considered relatively certain, especially those measured by a well test. Even these values may be

innacurate, however, if an overly simplified reservoir model is used in interpreting the well test data.

4.1.4.3. Matching Gas and Water Movement

Matching fluid movement usually is the strongest verification of the validity of assumptions concerning

reservoir description and reservoir mechanics. It is seldom possible to match water and gas moviment

adequaly without having a model of the reservoir that is reasonably complete and is almost entirely

consistent with both the assumed reservoir description and observed production history.

The best approach to use in matching fluid-contact movement, gas and water arrivel times, and

subsequent GOR and WOR behavior will be very specific to the reservoir being studied.

The first step in the gas and water movement match is to list all those properties of the reservoir and

aquifer that are most likely to influence movement of water and gas and estimate a bounds of uncertainty

for the properties listed above, then develop a criteria by which to judge the quality of a match of gas

and water movement and decide whether matching the behavior of groups of wells rather than individual

well is sufficient.

Another important step is to analyze the reservoir-depletion process to determine wheter coning or

cusping has influenced arrival times of gas and water and subsequent GOR or WOR behavior.

Also there‟s a need to decide whether the relative permeability data should be changed, in case this data

was obtained in measurements at reservoir conditions on representative core samples whose wettability

had been preserved, such change should be avoided. If relative-permeability data are not considered to

be realiable, both the shapes of the curves and end-point saturation can be changed. However, extreme

Page 37: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

29

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

changes that move relative-permeability data outside the range observed in other reservoir studies should

be avoided.

Vertical-permeability values can be important in calculating displacement efficiency and vertical sweep

efficiency and, thus, can affect calculated gas and water arrivel times. Unfortunately, effective vertical

permeability is usually not available from field measurament and cannot be estimated reliably from core

measurements.

It is also important to look at the performances of selected wells to see wheter gridblock definition is a

major problem. Coarse gridding can create apparent differences in model and field behavior because

gridblock centers may not be too far from actual well locations, or because poor definitions causes errors

in calculated displacement efficiency or sweep efficiency.

While making changes in the model properties to match fluid movements it‟s advise to continue to

compare calculated and actual pressure behavior.

Matching performance of a well in which water underlies (or gas overlies) the completion interval

almost always requires use of a coning model. The model is adjusted to match history by varying the

permeability levels in a key layer(s) such as a tar-bearing zone, where permeability is not well known, or

in a low-permeability zone, which severely limits vertical flow. Vertical permeability between the

completion interval and WOC or GOC is almost always a critical matching parameter. But it is also

important to model horizontal permeability correctly so that pressure drawdown is matched accurately.

In the absence of coning, cusping, and severe stratification, models may predict water production that is

not observed in the field. Obviously, water relative permeability is not properly defined, possible

because: saturation change in the field is following a hysteresis loop, and drainage rather than imbibition

water relative permeabilities should be used at low water saturations; water relative permeabilities at low

saturations are incorrect (laboratory measuraments at low saturations are difficult and relative

permeabilities at saturations up to about 20% PV above irreducible water saturation probably will not

have been measured), or the initial water-saturation distribution in the model is incorrect. Laboratory

experiments may be necessary to evaluate whether one of the explanations should be accepted for a

specific reservoir system.

4.1.5. Special considerations in History Matching

4.1.5.1. Evaluating the Quality of field data.

Good rate and pressure data from the field are essencial to obtaining a good reservoir model. These data

should be plotted on a well-by-well basis to identify and to remove any obvious data inconsistencies.

When beginning a history-match phase, it is useful to get as close as possible to the source of data. If

timing will permit, personally collect the data in the field office. Screen the data but is advisable not to

discard data

In general, it‟s always important to be aware of the quality and relative accuracy of the rate and presuure

data. Gas and oil production rates from gas/oil separation plants or by lease are usually quite accurate.

However, allocation of these rates to the individual wells is generally much less accurate. Water

injection rates are often less accurate than oil production rates. Casing leaks or leaks through bad cement

jobs can sometimes reduce or increase the rates of water flowing into a formation; the existence of such

things is often detected in history matching. It‟s ussually necessary to confirm that measured pressures

have been corrected to datum properly.

Equally important are data on WOC‟s, GOC‟s, and original oil in place (OOIP) or original gas in place.

Initial values of these quantities should be compared with exixting estimates. If there are differences,

they should be resolved before a simulation goes beyond the initialization stage. Generally, in a field

with a long history, there will be values, especially for OOIP, that have been estabilished by prior

studies and that should not be changed without adequate reason. For young reservoirs, there may not be

a good estimate of OOIP. In this case, care must be taken tomake sure that simulator values are

consistent with whatever data are available.

4.1.5.2. Correcting Observed Pressures to model conditions

Pressure data for active production and injection wells normally will not correspond directly to

calculated pressure in the gridblocks containing the wells. For instance, calculated pressure in a

gridblock containing a producing well may be above the BHFP but less than the pressure measured after

a 72-hour shut-in period. The reason for the apparent discrepancy, of course, is that the horizontal

Page 39: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

31

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

dimensions of a gridblock are much larger than the radius of the well and, hence, the gridblock pressure

corresponds to an actual pressure some distance from the wellbore. For adequate comparison it is

necessary to adjust either the calculated or measured pressure so that the two pressures represent

conditions at the same location in the reservoir. In practice, it usually is more convenient to adjust the

measured pressures. [1]

4.2 Automatic History Matching (AHM)

Automatic history matching is identical to manual history matching except that computer logic is used to

adjust the reservoir data rather than direct engineering intervention. It generally uses inverse simulation

that involves output least squares algorithms. These algorithms are based on minimizing an objective

functional, a quadratic function of the differences between observe and predicted measurements.

Gradient-based algorithms are then used to speed up the process of parameter estimation. Constraints

and priori information are added to restrict the dimension of the parameter spaces. Finally sophisticated

search algorithms involving trust region methods are employed for the constrained optimization

problem. Thus the automatic history matching becomes a mathematical minimization problem.

Reservoir history matching problems are generally characterized by a very large number of unknown

parameters. Consequently, the efficiency of numerical minimization algorithms is a primary concern. In

addition, these problems are typically ill-conditioned; many quite different sets of parameter estimates

may yield nearly identical matches to the data (Ewing., 1994). Because of these concerns, much research

is yet to be done, and at the current stage of development automatic history matching is of limited use

for practical problems.[14]

Most automatic history-matching methods do not permit simultaneous matching of two or more kinds of

data. In practice, pressure normally would be matched first. Then GOR or WOR would be matched by

automatic modification of either rock or pseudo-relative-permeability functions. Most experience to date

has been on matching pressure data, but the selection of the type of data to vary is an option. For a match

of pressure, the model grid generally will be divided into arbitrary areas and the simulator will modify

multiplying factors-one value for each area- that will raise or lower all permeabilities and/or porosities

uniformly for each area. Hence, the reservoir variables or parameters that are automatically changed to

Page 40: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

32

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

achieve a match are the multiplying factors rather than the permeabilities or porosities themselves. It is

generally not feasible to have a multiplying factor for every permeability or porosity value in the model

(Chen et al). [15]

The procedures for history matching will depend somewhat on the characteristics of the computer

program, but generally will include the following steps: Firstly is to devise a numerical model of the

reservoir, and if water drive is significant, the model should simulate the aquifer in addition to the

reservoir. Then select the variables to be modified by the automatic history matching package. It is

important to be judicious in the selection of variables and to select only those variables that have the

strongest effect on the objective function. There‟s a need to set the constraints so that the AHM program

will not be allowed to produce wild or unrealistic values of reservoir parameters. Then assign the best

current reservoir description to the model by setting up the observed data and assigning scaling factors

to the observed data. At any stage of the AHM process judicious changes in variables and variable areas

or regions have to be done on the basis of experience and understanding of reservoir mechanics.

When To Use Automatic History Match

One detrimental feature of the AHM process is that it excludes the engineer from the history-matching

phase of the simulation study. Consequently, the use of AHM may remove engineering judgment and

specific knowledge of the subject reservoir from the history match.

Currently, AHM is not widely used and probably should not be the method of choice for most problems.

AHM should be considered, however, if manual matching is not proceeding satisfactorily. If automatic

matching is considered then one should follow some guidelines for it. The AHM should be used only

after making a number of manual history-matching trials to identify important matching variables, then

use the matching program to identify the remaining weak variables that have little effect on the quality

of the match. Make carefully estimates of computing costs before embarking on an automatic matching

phase. Above all is not recommended to proceed blindly when using automatic history matching

simulator, follow closely the progress of the regression as a match is approached and be well aware of

the value of the sum of squared differences of each new trial.

Selection of which history-matched method, manual or automatic to use in the history matching phase of

a simulation study depends on the objectives of the history match, the company resources devoted to the

history match and the deadlines of the simulation study.[17]

4.3. History Matching the Norne field E-Segment

4.3.1 General

The most common procedure to perform a production history matching is to start with a base model and modify

reservoir and fluid properties to adjust simulation results with the production history of the field.

The data to perform the history matching of the Norne E-Segment was accessible via the web-page and

includes a reservoir simulation model in eclipse format, a geological report describing the stratigraphy of

the field consisting of 17 zones, and petrophysics reports from three wells which provides data related to

permeability, water saturation, net-to-gross, thickness, porosity, capillary pressure, porosity-permeability

relationship in all formations. There is also history data available such as production data and well logs.

As described in chapter 3 the data used for the history matching was imported into Petrel (the procedures

are described there) from the eclipse model available. The data available for the history matching is

composed of Oil, water and gas production history data for the 3 wells and water injected for the 2

Injectors, starting from 1998 to 2004. No field pressure history data was available.

4.3.2 Properties Modified During History Matching Process

One of the first steps during history matching is to match the pressure. However since there was no

pressure history data available no match was done on field pressure.

In the absence of any history pressure data we have attempted to match field oil, water and gas rates,

cumulative oil produced and also Field GOR‟s.

4.3.2.1 End Point Scaling

The first modification done was by doing some end point scaling. The ECLIPSE saturation table End-

point Scaling option allows us to redefine values for the connate, critical and maximum saturations in

the saturation tables describing the flow of the reservoir fluids. The scaling facility is useful for

modeling reservoirs which contain an initial depth variation of either the connate or critical saturations

for one or more of the phases present. It has applications in the use of pseudo functions and in general

cases where the saturation function data for the reservoir fluids depend on a normalized saturation

variable.

Page 44: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

The End-point Scaling option is enabled by the ENDSCALE keyword in the RUNSPEC section.

Separate re-scaling is done on relative permeability and capillary pressure curves. Generally, each is a

two-point rescaling, two saturation values in the tables being moved to new positions. There is also an

option to apply a three-point rescaling to the relative permeability curves only. In a three phase model

there are eight saturation table end points which may be identified [10]:

Table 4.2 Saturation table end points Keyword Description

Keyword Description

SWL The connate water saturation. This is the smallest water saturation entry in a water saturation table.

SWCR The critical water saturation. This is the highest water saturation for which the water is immobile.

SWU The maximum water saturation. This is the largest water saturation entry in a water saturation table.

SGL The connate gas saturation. This is the smallest gas saturation entry in a gas saturation table.

SGCR The critical gas saturation. This is the highest gas saturation for which the gas is immobile.

SGU The maximum gas saturation. This is the largest gas saturation entry in a gas saturation table.

SOWCR The critical oil-in-water saturation. This is the highest oil saturation for which the oil is immobile in an oil-water system

SOGCR The critical oil-in-gas saturation. This is the highest oil saturation for which the oil is immobile in an oil-gas-connate water system

We shall refer to the saturation end points taken from the saturation tables in the input data file as the

unscaled saturation end points.

The End-point Scaling option enables you to define new values for any of the above eight saturation end

points for each grid cell, subject to maintaining a consistent set of saturation tables within each grid cell.

The appropriate subset of the above eight end points is applicable in two phase runs. The new values

defined using the scaling option will be referred to as the scaled end points.

When relative permeability and capillary pressure values need to be computed at a particular saturation,

a linear transformation is used to determine the equivalent saturation to be used for look-up in the

unscaled table [10].

The Norne Field has 22 saturation tables, the end point scaled here was the SWCR (Critical water

saturation, which is the highest value of Sw on the saturation table for which the value of Krw is zero)

which the initial value was in a range from 0.0975 to 0.2780 and been scaled to a range of 0.28 to 0.38

(see figure 1A of app.).

4.3.2.2 Adding an Aquifer

The next we added an aquifer to model the pressure support and run it. Aquifer modeling is a method of

simulating large amounts of water (or gas) connected to the reservoir whereby it is not essential to know

how the fluid moves in it, but rather how it affects our reservoir.

There are several aquifer models: numerical, Carter Tracy, Fetkovich, constant flux, constant pressure

(gas or water) and rainfall. Each aquifer model has its own set of parameters and can be connected to the

grid in different directions: top down, bottom up, grid edges and/or fault edges. To have better control

over which cell needs to be connected, a series of options can be used to limit the vertical extent and to

restrict the connections to filtered cells only [9].

In Petrel to add an aquifer model, first we need to select the area where we want to add it then select the

drive mechanism. The area selected covers the whole reservoir and the drive mechanism is from bottom

up and grid edges. The aquifer model chosen was Carter Tracy which is a simplified approximation to a

fully transient model, which avoids the need for superposition. The model uses tables of dimensionless

time versus a dimensionless pressure influence function [9].

Page 49: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

41

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

Two main constants govern the behavior of the aquifer; 1. The time constant which is a function of the

aquifer permeability, the aquifer porosity, the viscosity of the water in the aquifer, the total

compressibility (rock + water) and the outer radius of the reservoir. 2. The dimensionless time constant.

The time constant is used in converting time to the dimensionless time constant.

The initial aquifer pressure used is that of the reservoir so that the aquifer and reservoir will be in

hydrostatic equilibrium with each other. The angle of influence used and aquifer internal radius are 360o

and 500m respectively.

4.3.2.3 PERMZ and PERMX

The third parameters changed were the PERMZ and PERMX around the wellbore. The initial value for

PERMZ was in the range of 0 to 1885 then it was reduced to a range from 0 to 179, using the property

calculator, meaning that it was multiplied by 0.05. As for PERMX the initial value was in a range of 8 to

2175 and it was modified to a range from 7 to 2066, which was multiplied by 0.95.

4.3.2.3 Relative Permeabilities Kro, Krw

Permeability is the ability or a measurement of a rock‟s ability and capacity to transmit fluids, often

measured in Darcy (D) or milli-darcy (md). It is usual to differ between absolute, effective and relative

permeability.

Absolute Permeability: Is the measurement of the permeability conducted when a single fluid or phase

is present in the rock.

Effective permeability: Is the ability to preferentially flow or transmit a particular fluid through a rock

when the other immiscible fluids are present in the reservoir.

Relative Permeability: Relative Permeability is the ratio of effective permeability of a particular fluid

at a particular saturation, to absolute permeability of that fluid at a total saturation.

kro=ko/k

Where: kro: is the oil relative permeability

Ko: is the permeability of oil

K: is the absolute permeability

Oil and water relative permeabilities in an oil-water system are usually plotted as a function of water

saturation. The Sor is called the residual oil saturation. The directions of the curves point out the

saturation histories which are called drainage and imbibitions. The drainage curve applies to processes

where the wetting phase is decreasing in magnitude. The imbibitions curve applies to processes where

the wetting phase is increasing in magnitude.

Relative Permeability Curves:

The relative permeability curves consist of three elements: The end point fluid saturations; the end point

permeabilities and the curvature of the relative permeability functions.

Figure 4.21 Typical curves for oil-water relative permeability at water wetted system

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

The end point saturations determine the movable saturation range and are directly related to amount of

recoverable oil. The end points of relative permeabilities enter in the expression for the mobility ratio

and will determine sweep efficiency of a displacement process. The shape of the curves in between may

also have an important bearing on recovery efficiency.

M=krw*μo/kro*μw

Where:

M: Mobility ratio

kro: is the oil relative permeability

krw: is the water relative permeability

μo: oil viscosity

μw: water viscosity

Two-Phase relative Permeability models

The relative permeability for a two phase models are generally obtained from laboratory measurements

on suitable cores. In some cases these data may be missing and reasonable approximations necessary.

These approximations are called models when they are available in algebraic form. The most commonly

used correlation is the Corey‟s two-phase model and are obtained by Corey correlation using the

following equations (oil-water system):

Where:

= Normalized/effective-Oil-Saturation

Where:

=Normalize/effective-Water-Saturation

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

Figure 4.22 Oil/Water and Oil/Gas relative Permeability Curves

It is possible to scale the relative permeability at the maximum phase saturation and at the

critical/residual saturation of the associated phase. The scaled relative permeabilities can be specified on

a block by block basis, or alternatively the depth variation can be specified using the ENKRVD and

ENDNUM keywords. The KRW, KRG, KRO keywords and their derivatives are used to set the relative

permeabilities at the maximum phase saturation, while the KRWR, KRGR, KRORW, KRORG

keywords and their derivatives are used to set the relative permeabilities at the critical/residual saturation

of the associated phase.

The last parameter changed was the maximum relative permeabilities Krw and Kro on the saturation table.

Petrel only allows changing the maximum values of the Real Perms on the saturation tables. The values

can only be changed in an ascending order for Krw and in descending order for Kro,

After running the parameters individually, we decided to run all parameters (SWCR, adding the aquifer,

PERMZ and PERMX and Krw, Kro) that were changed together and the result was a better match.

4.3.3 Results

Changing of SWCR

By changing SWCR the end points will therefore change. If we look at the figure 4.3-4.6 above we will

see that there is a slight change in the original case, therefore this parameter affects the field oil and gas

production rate, Field Oil Cumulative Produced but has little influence on GOR.

Adding an aquifer

By adding an aquifer model we are therefore modeling the pressure support of the whole reservoir.

Figure 4.11-4.15 shows that there is a major change in the field oil and gas production rate, field oil

cumulative produced and GOR. Therefore this modification gives a better much compared to the base

case.

Page 67: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

59

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

PERMZ and PERMX

After adjusting PERMZ and PERMX, using different combinations on the multiplier a better match

using these parameters was achieved using the values 0.05 and 0.95 respectively (see figures 4.18-4.22).

During the runs when using values bellow 0.05 and 0.5 respectively we would get erros and

convergence problems. For the case of GOR the better match is achieved from the Period of December

1999 to March 2001. This parameter has a second better match compared to the one when we add the

aquifer.

Change in Kro and Krw

The kro and krw were the last parameters to change. By changing both parameters the end points will be

changed as well (figure 4.23), so has the mobility ratio. Looking at the figure 4.24-4.28 we can observe

that there is a small change on the field oil and gas production rate, on the Oil cumulative produced and

no change on GOR.

Combining SWCR, Aquifer, Kro, Krw, PERMZ and PERMX

By combining all the adjusted parameters a better match was achieved (figure 4.29-4.33) at Field level

for oil, gas and water produced as well as for GOR and Water Cut. A better match was also achieved at a

wells level (see figure 4.34-4.36).

From all the plots above regarding the field oil production the better much is located on two distinct

periods as from August 1999 to November 2000 and also from April 2001 to December 2003. As for

GOR the better match was achieved from March 2002 to December 2003 which is the period where we

start having a decrease in oil production rate.

Chapter 5

5.1 Prediction A fundamental task of the reservoir engineer is to adopt techniques to predict future production rates for

a given reservoir or a specific well. The objective of history matching is to build a reservoir model that

integrates available data and yelds production forecasts that are accurate. For these forecasts to be as

reliable as possible, a necessary condition is to ensure that the model encompasses all available data and

information.

5.2 Multi-segmented well model

The Multi-segment Well model is a Special Extension, which is available in both ECLIPSE 100 and

ECLIPSE 300. It provides a detailed description of fluid flow in the well bore. The facility is specifically

designed for horizontal and multi-lateral wells and to model „smart‟ wells containing various types of

flow control device,, although it can of course be used to provide a more detailed analysis of fluid flow

in standard vertical and deviated wells. Like the standard well model, the equations are solved fully

implicitly and simultaneously with the reservoir equations, to provide stability and to ensure that

operating targets are met exactly.

Each segment may have completions in one or more reservoir grid blocks, or none at all if there are no

perforations in that location. The variables within each segment are evaluated by solving material

balance equations for each phase or component and a pressure drop equation that takes into account the

local hydrostatic, friction and acceleration pressure gradients. The pressure drop may be calculated from

a homogeneous flow model where all the phases flow with the same velocity, or a „drift flux‟ model that

allows slip between the phases. Alternatively, the pressure drop may optionally be derived from pre-

calculated VFP tables, which can potentially offer greater accuracy and provide the ability to model

chokes.

Page 69: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

61

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

5.2.1 Benefits of using multi segmented wells

The Multi-segment Well model has all the capabilities of the Wellbore Friction option, and provides

several additional features and greater flexibility. The benefits of using this well model include:

1. Improved handling of multi-lateral topology: Data input has been designed for ease of use with

multi-lateral wells. There are two separate keywords to define the segment structure and the perforated

lengths. Individual branches are identified by their branch number. Branches may, if required, have sub-

branches.

2. Improved modeling of multi-phase flow: Use of the drift flux model or pre-calculated pressure drop

tables can produce more accurate pressure gradients than the homogeneous flow treatment used in the

other well models. The pressure gradient can vary from segment to segment throughout the well; it is

calculated fully implicitly in each segment using the local flowing conditions.

3. Flexibility: The variable number of grid block completions per segment allows the choice between

using many segments for greater accuracy or fewer segments for faster computation.

4. The Multi-segment Well model contains several facilities for modeling advanced wells. Specific

segments can be configured to model flow control devices such as chokes, by providing a pressure drop

table that describes their pressure loss characteristics as a function of flow. Various „built in‟ flow

control device models are also provided:

a. Variable pressure loss multipliers can be used to represent „smart‟ devices which react to

isolate high GOR or WOR regions.

b. Flow limiting valves can also be used to represent „smart‟ devices which react to limit the

flow of oil, water or gas through a segment.

c. Other advanced well components such as sub-critical valves, „labyrinth‟ devices and down-

hole separators can also be modeled.

Page 70: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

62

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

5. Crossflow can be modeled more realistically, as the fluid mixture can vary throughout the well.

Complex crossflow regimes may potentially occur in multi-lateral wells, including branch-to-branch

crossflow and crossflow within individual branches. In the other well models, if crossflow occurred, the

mixture flowing back into the reservoir would reflect the average contents of the well bore, regardless of

which parts of the well were crossflowing.

6. Wellbore storage effects can be modeled more accurately by dividing the well bore into several

segments. The drift flux model allows phases to flow in opposite directions at low flow rates, so that

phase redistribution within the well bore can occur during shut-in well tests.

A Multi-segmented well can be considered as a collection of segments arranged in a gathering tree

topology, similar to the node-branch structure of a network in the Network option. A single-bore well

will, of course, just consist of a series of segments arranged in sequence along the well bore. A multi-

lateral well has a series of segments along its main stem, and each lateral branch consists of a series of

one or more segments that connects at one end to a segment on the main stem (Figure 5.1). It is possible,

if required, for lateral branches to have sub-branches; this may be useful when modeling certain inflow

control devices as part of the network of segments.

The segments network for each well may thus have any number of „generations‟ of branches and sub-

branches, but it must conform to gathering-tree topology. Segments within the gathering tree topology

can be connected in order to form loops.

Figure 5.1 A multi-lateral, multi-segmented well

Page 71: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

63

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

Each segment consists of a node and a flow path to its parent segment‟s node. (We use the term

„flowpath‟ here rather than „branch‟, as the latter term is reserved for lateral branches in multi-lateral

wells, each of which may contain several segments.) A segment‟s node is positioned at the end that is

furthest away from the wellhead (Figure 5.2). Each node lies at a specified depth, and has a nodal

pressure which is determined by the well model calculation. Each segment also has a specified length,

diameter, roughness, area and volume. The volume is used for wellbore storage calculations, while the

other attributes are properties of its flow path and are used in the friction and acceleration pressure loss

calculations.

Also associated with each segment‟s flow path are the flow rates of oil, water and gas, which are

determined by the well model calculation.

Figure 5.2 Well Segments

A segment node must be positioned at each branch junction. Flow from the formation through grid-

block-to-well connections also enters the well at segment nodes. A segment (or to be more precise, its

node) can accept flow from any number of grid block connections (Figure 5.3). If you wish to have a

separate segment node for each connection (for greatest accuracy) then it is best to position the nodes to

lie at the center of their corresponding grid block connections. But it is also possible to reduce the

number of segments by allocating two or more grid block connections to each segment In this case it

best to position each segment node to lie at the center of the perforated interval that is allocated to the

segment.

Page 72: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

64

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

ECLIPSE allocates each grid block connection to the segment whose node lies nearest to it. If necessary,

you can over-ride this by explicitly specifying the segment to which the connection should be allocated

in the COMPSEGS (or COMPSEGL) keyword.

Figure 5.3 Allocating connection flows to segments

It is also possible to position segment nodes at intermediate points along the well bore, for example

where the tubing properties or inclination angle change. Additional segment can be defined to represent

chokes or inflow control devices. In common with other aspects of numerical simulation, the optimum

number of segments required to model a particular well depends on your preferred compromise between

speed and accuracy.

5.3 Forward Modeling

After History Matching the Norne E-Segment, a basis for predicting future production and further

development of the field is now available. Two prediction scenarios are analyzed here:

Producing the field for another five year‟s using the present development strategy and the wells

currently in place.

Placing a new well and producing from there while shutting in the present production wells.

At the end of our simulation run in January 2004 producers E-2H and E-3AH are still open for

5.4 Multi-segmented well option The effect of using the multi-segmented well option was analyzed using well E-2H as a case study. Due

to the absence of a flow performance table the pressure drop in each segment has not been modeled.

Plotting the simulated pressure with and without well segmentation shows a slight difference (figure

5.11) which maybe due to the pressure drop from friction in the wellbore being considered during the

simulation. This difference however disappears when viewing the WOPR as seen in figure 5.12 below.

Figures 5.13 to 5.16 are PLT plot showing simulated flow along the wellbore section where we have our

perforations and the multi-segmentation has been done, the rate, velocity and pressure at each point in

the well can be seen at any given time step. Comparing figures 5.13 and 5.15 shows a large difference

between the oil rate and the water rate at this section of the well, this is because influx into the well from

the perforations are majorly from the oil in this zone and water presence here is minimal. This simulated

PLT data can be plotted against observed PLT data if available and can be used for a good history

matching process.

6.1 Uncertainty Assessment 6.1.1 Introduction

“The ability to make quick yet intelligent and value-added decisions to develop new fields has always

been of great significance. In situations where the capital expenses and subsurface risk are high,

carefully analyzing the inherent uncertainties in the reservoir and how they impact the predicted

hydrocarbon accumulation and production becomes a daunting task. The problem is compounded in

offshore environments, especially in the presence of heavy oils and disconnected sands, where the

margin for error is small. In many cases, realizing the value of a prospect is very time-dependent and

resolving uncertainties of complex reservoir systems needs a systematic and efficient approach”(16). We

have attempted to present the case study of the uncertainty and sensitivity analysis workflow for the

hydrocarbon accumulation in the Norne E-Segment as a tool for sound development decision and better

History match.

Among the key uncertainties in reservoir engineering parameters is the relative permeability to water,

the position of the Oil water contact (OWC) and the Gas oil contact (GOC), the Net to Gross ratio

(N/G), the porosity amongst others, while the key uncertainties in the volume calculation besides the

parameters mentioned above are the So and Sw. With so many uncertainties working at different scales, it

becomes essential to have a consistent and efficient way of incorporating them into our analysis.

Ranking the uncertainties based on their impact on reserves helps to prioritize/ guide future data

gathering and uncertainty reduction efforts. Assigning probabilistic ranges to key uncertainties also

enables the computation of probabilistic reserves. The use of experimental design and Monte-Carlo

simulation techniques, along with the use of fast parallel reservoir simulation can greatly improve our

uncertainty analysis efforts and help make quality decisions in a timely manner. Calculation of the

STOIIP and the HCPV requires knowledge of the water saturation, oil saturation, net to gross, porosity

and Bo which are all uncertain parameters to various degrees. Uncertainty analysis, even at this early

stage, can determine where resources should be directed to get the most cost effective investigation.

6.2 Volume Calculations

“Calculating accurately the volumes in a 3D grid (bulk, pore and fluid) is very important because these

figures will often be used as first indications of the economic viability of the field, and together with an

uncertainty analysis, can determine where efforts in reservoir evaluation should be concentrated.

Volume calculations are often left to the last phases of a reservoir investigation when detailed property

modeling has been completed.”(9) Inputs to a volume calculation include:

A 3D grid: A 3D grid with zones and segments so as to calculate the volume in each zone or

segment.

Contacts: An Oil-Water Contact or/ Gas-Oil Contact

Properties: General properties like NTG and Porosity must exist and then properties specific to

the oil or gas zone such as Water Saturation, Oil Saturation, Gas Saturation.

Constants: If there is free gas in the oil or free oil in the gas then constants like GOR, OGR, Bo

and Bg.

6.2.1 Volume Calculation Method

“Each side of the cell is triangulated and the cells are split exactly where they are cut by contacts or

boundary polygons. Because of the geometry of the 3D grid used in Petrel and Eclipse, faults form an

integral part of the grid. Cell boundaries always form the faults in the 3D grid, and volumes are therefore

always reported exactly along segment boundaries.”(9)

The basic formulas used for volume calculations in this project include:

Bulk Volume = Total Rock Volume

6.2.2 Workflow for Volume Calculation

The Volume Calculations have been done using the volume calculation process in PETREL. Here

volumes can be calculated within zones, segments and user defined boundaries using filters and

polygons. In this project the volume calculation has been restricted to zones only as we are looking only

at the E-segment of the Norne field.

Volume Calculations can be done using various hypotheses in one operation; each hypothesis is known

as a run. Running a volume calculation creates a volume case which can be used as the filter for showing

the results of the run in the plot window.

A volume calculation case was created to calculate HCPVoil, HCPVgas, STOIIP, Net Volume, Bulk

Volume and Pore Volume in PETREL. The Hydrocarbon interval to be calculated was specified by

inputting the GOC (2581.16m) and the OWC (2613.62m), the Net to Gross (NTG) and porosities used

are gotten from the 3D grid. The oil and gas properties for the run also need to be specified, which as

stated above include water saturation, gas saturation, oil saturation, oil formation volume factor (Bo), gas

formation volume factor (Bg). The Bo (1.25) and Bg (0.004746) used were taken at the reference depth

(2581m) and pressure (260 bar), with the NTG, porosities, OWC, GOC, Sw/Sg/So, Bo and Bg specified

the volume calculation is ready to be done. The volumes are calculated and the results presented zone by

zone, figures 1-3 show the STOIIP, HCPVoil, HCPVgas through 6 where most of the STOIIP is located.

From our volume calculations and as shown below we have a large gas accumulation in zones 1,2 and 3

indicating the location of our gas interval, zone 4 is a shale zone and has no hydrocarbon accumulation

while zones 5 and 6 consist primarily of oil and has a larger HCPVoil accumulation than the other zones.

6.3 Workflow for Uncertainty Assessment and Sensitivity analysis

6.3.1 Uncertainty Assessment

A base case volumetric and simulation model has been built; this model can be defined as the most

likely representation of the Norne E-segment dynamic reservoir model. We have attempted to:

Measure the effect of variations in the input data on the base simulation case.

Measure the sensitivity of the volume calculations to input parameters

The uncertainty analysis process has been run using the Uncertainty and Optimization workflow in

PETREL, uncertain parameters in the model have been varied randomly at the same time at each run.

The result of this may yield a very pessimistic case for one of the processes, but a more optimistic case

for another process and in some cases incomplete simulation results due to errors which are usually

Page 88: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

80

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

caused by convergence problems while running the simulations producing a more realistic uncertainty

since the probability of getting the extreme low case of each case is very unlikely. Firstly we identified

the parameters we wanted to define as uncertain and then we chose a distribution law and value range to

be used for the uncertain parameters. In our simulation model we have investigated PERMZ and

PERMX as uncertainties and tried to model the impact varying them would have on simulation result.

PERMX and PERMZ multipliers have been created, namely PERMX multiplier and PERMZ multiplier.

The base case for the multipliers has been assumed as one (1) and the variables are 0.8, 0.7, 0.6, 0.5 and

0.4; figures 6.1-6.4 show the impact it has on the FOPR and FGPR.

6.3.2 Sensitivity Analysis

As mentioned earlier volume calculations in this project have been zonal with emphasis on zones 1-6.

During the uncertainty and sensitivity analysis on the volume calculations five key uncertain parameters

have been used (GOC, OWC, So, Sw and Porosity), after the ranges of the parameters were defined, 25

volumetric sensitivity runs were made on PETREL; 5 runs for each variable to test the impact each

parameter has on the calculations. Figures 6.9 and 6.10 are histograms showing the variations in STOIIP

for zones 1 and 5 as the variables change with each run. The cumulative distribution curves for the

volumes are also shown on the histograms. The histogram and cumulative distribution curve for each of

the variables can be seen in figures 6.9-6.15; these cumulative distribution curves are also known as

expectation curves where probabilistic approach is used to quantify uncertainty. As the variables change

with each run so does the STOIIP, plotting an expectation curve the uncertainty in the variable can be

expressed based on 0-100% probability scale.

Based on the simulations from the various scenarios a tornado plot has been made to show the maximum

and minimum value of the volumes calculated for the field. Figures 6.16-6.19 show sensitivity of the

volume results to the parameter changes where the blue column denotes using the low estimate and red

denotes the high estimate as seen in table 6.1 above, while figures 6.20-6.23 shows the key parameters

affecting volume calculation in the NORNE field, the values used in the plot have been gotten by

calculating the amount of deviation from the base case for each variable. For STOIIP calculation the

two key parameters are Porosity and Sw, for GIIP it‟s So while the position of the contacts have the least

impact, in HCPVoil and HCPVgas the key parameters are porosity and Sw respectively.

7.1 Impact Of Grid Resolution On well Placement

7.1.1 Optimum Well Placement

Optimum well placement is a very challenging problem due to the large number of decision variables

involved and the nonlinearity of the reservoir response as well as of the well placement constraints. Over

the years, a lot of research has been done on this problem, most of which using optimization routines

coupled to reservoir simulation models. Despite all this research, there is still a lack of robust computer-

aided optimization tools ready to be applied by asset teams in real field development projects.

Development strategies and well placement may significantly depend on field geology, maturity of the

depletion stage, technological factor, drive resources and other parameters. Optimum well placement

most of the time is done based on a deterministic (most likely) case.

The definition of a well placement is a key aspect with major impact in a field development project. In

this sense, the use of reservoir simulation allows the engineer to evaluate different placement scenarios.

However, the current industry practice is still, in most cases, a manual procedure of trial and error that

requires a lot of experience and knowledge from the engineers involved in the project. Considering that,

the development of well placement optimization tools which can automate this process is a high

desirable goal.

Different studies have been performed in well placement optimization; in here a few of them are cited/ described:

The optimum placement of wells within geologic uncertainties using sector model[23]

Using an optimization methodology and workflow for applying uncertainty analysis. The

workflow steps to follow are:

o Identify the highest critical parameters among the list of uncertainties of the field (using

Tornado plots);

o Apply simulation runs (using eclipse) to build a proxy model;

o Generate a density distribution function of cumulative production to identify the P10, P50

and P90 cases (using Monte Carlo Analysis);

Page 99: “History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E

91

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics

“History Matching and Uncertainty Assessment of the Norne Field E-Segment” M.Sc. Thesis June 2010

o Use the probabilistic distribution to determine the likelihood of the development case

under identified risk parameters;

o Consider field operation strategies together with optimization of injector-producer

spacing, producer-producer spacing, horizontal completion, well length and orientation

with geologic uncertainties;

o Use the optimized development plan and well placement to generate cumulative

production distribution with uncertainty parameters.

Well placement under time-dependent uncertainty[22]

Well placement decisions made during the early stages of exploration and development activities have

the capability to improve later placement decisions by providing more information. Therefore, recovery

and efficient use of information may add value beyond the amount of oil recovered. This study proposes

an approach that emphasizes the value of time dependent information to achieve better decisions in

terms of reduced uncertainty and increased probable net present value (NPV). Unlike previous

approaches, well-placement optimization is coupled with recursive probabilistic history-matching steps

through the use of the pseudo-history concept. The pseudo-history is defined as the probable (future)

response of the reservoir that is generated by a probabilistic forecasting model.

For greater understanding of the time dependent uncertainty and its effect on well placement a simple

scenario is considered where there are such number of wells, same number for producer and injector,

whereas the production history for a determined number of days is available, which will be used to

generate multiple history-matched models.

Then the framework will be: The starting time of production of the optimized wells and the field

deployment are predetermined. The decision criterion is the utility that is a function of NPV and risk

attitude of the decision maker, which is the optimum location of the wells considering the uncertainty of

geological models.(7)

Well Placement using Genetic Algorithms with nonlinear Constraints[21]

According to SPE Paper 118808 an implemented tool based on Genetic Algorithm was used for the

simultaneous optimization of number, location and trajectory of producer and injector wells. This tool is

to deal with realistic well placement problems with arbitrary well trajectories, complex model grids and

linear and non-linear constraints.

It uses a technique called Genocop III-Genetic Algorithm for Numerical Optimization of Constraint

Problems-to deal with well placement constraints. Such constraints include grid size, maximum length

of wells, and minimum distance between wells, inactive grid cells and user-defined regions of the

model, with non-uniform shape, where the optimization routine is not supposed to place wells.

The optimization process was applied to different full-field reservoir models based on real cases. It

increased the net present values and the oil recovery factors obtained by well placement scenarios

previously proposed by engineers.

Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a robust optimization technique based on analogies to natural selection and

genetics. GA combines concepts such as survival of the fittest individual and random crossing

information.

The Genocop III method uses two separate populations, but an evolution in one of them influences

evaluations of individuals in the other one. Using this procedure is possible to deal with the following

well placement constraints in the optimization process:

Grid size

Maximum length of wells

Minimum distance between wells

Inactive grid cells

User defined regions of the model, with non-uniform shape, where the optimization routine is not

supposed to place wells.

With this set of constraints the optimization algorithm becomes applicable to reservoir models with non-

uniform geometry. These constraints also allow some flexibility in the definition of the optimization

problem.(8)

7.1.2 Impact of Grid Resolution during Well Placement.

In reservoir simulation, grid sizes are sometimes too large to give accurate results especially in regions

near well and displacement fronts. A global grid refinement for the whole reservoir is also not practical

since it is time consuming especially in large and complex models. When placing wells in reservoir

models, using fine grid models it usually helps in locating the well optimally for oil and gas production.

The impact of grid resolution when placing horizontal wells has been studied in this project. The Norne

field has an impermeable layer located at zone 4 just below the gas zone, synthetic models of the Norne

E-segment with its grid resolution changed both vertically and laterally has been built with properties of

the E-segmented populated to them. A well of similar specifications has been placed in each of the

synthetic models to determine at which point in the reservoir the model should be placed to delay water

breakthrough, optimize oil production and reduce water cut in the well. Three synthetic models have

been built as detailed below in table 7.1 and shown in figures 7.1 to 7.3; the grid refinement in each

model has been done just below the shale zone which is our area of interest.

has been completed with a 6.625” diameter casings, 4” diameter tubings and 827m of perforations along

enable controlled production.

Development Strategy: Similar development strategies have been employed in all the cases listed

above, the simulation has been run for a seven years period from 1997 till 2004. Well and production

limits have been imposed on the horizontal well „C1‟, „C2‟ and „C3‟. Oil production rate has been fixed

at 500 Sm3/day till a bottom hole pressure of 150 bars is reached after which the bottom hole pressure is

kept constant during the remaining production life of the wells.

7.1.2.1 Observation Analysis

After running various scenarios with the wells placed at different points in the models the cases giving

the best result for each model has been selected and can be seen in the figure below. Model 3 has the

longest production life and produces till 2004 while in models 1 and 2 the pressure quickly drops to 150

bars and is subsequently shut in. Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 shows the FOPR, GPR, FPR and cumulative

production for each case; it can be observed that model 3 which has the finest grid resolution has its well

placed most optimally. There is a noticeable difference from the results gotten from the 3 models even

though the difference in number of layers added is small, this is probably due to that refinement of the

grid was done on only two layers to help locate the well optimally and before refinement each grid had a

height of about 9m which reduces considerable when refined.

Conclusions

A PETREL model of the Norne E-segment is now available for further research using Petrel. Since the 3D grid was not built on Petrel to do studies concerning grid resolution a synthetic

model needs to be built. The well path in PETREL is different from that in ECLIPSE.

History Matching: Modeling the aquifer support for the E-Segment improves significantly the match in the

Reservoir model. The vertical permeability near the Oil-Water contact has been reduced to decrease the flow and

production of water into the wells. A better history match was achieved at a Well and field level when combining all the modified

parameters.

Prediction

The reservoir has a better predicted recovery if developed from a new producer after 2003 and the other producers are shut in while maintaining use of the former injectors.

Uncertainty/Sensitivity Assessment

Due to the complexity and heterogeneity of Reservoirs, uncertainty analysis should be done on reservoir models to determine the impact parameters have on simulation results.

A range on the degree of uncertainty should be established so as to use realistic variables while doing uncertainty assessment.

A good uncertainty and sensitivity assessment will help in field development as volume calculations of oil and gas in place can be estimated more accurately.

Uncertain parameters in Norne E-segment affects the results from simulation runs making prediction more difficult.

Uncertainty in parameters important for volume calculations in the Reservoir model makes estimation of STOIIP and GIIP difficult.

Porosity and Sw has the greatest impact when calculating the STOIIP in the reservoir model.

Impact Of Grid Resolution On Well Placement

In well placement, the grid resolution helps in determination of the most exact place for optimum oil recovery. Using fine grid models increases the success rate in well placement.

Highest recovery is achieved when the well is placed in model „C‟ which has the finest grid resolution vertically of the 3 study cases.

Recommendations Pressure history for the wells should be made available to improve the history match done on the

field. To appreciate more the functionalities of PETREL more geological and reservoir data of the

Norne E-segment is needed to enable a more representative model be built on PETREL. Students need a more extensive training on PETREL or more access to their industry supervisors. Phd students or student assistants with knowledge of PETREL should be made available and

assigned to work with Masters students using PETREL for the Msc. Project and thesis. Since seismic can also be done on the PETREL platform, incorporating 4-D seismic data for

history matching will help in better and more reliable matches.
