Advanced Closed-Loop Reservoir Management for Computationally Efficient Data Assimilation and Real-Time Production Optimization of SAGD Reservoirs
DownloadSpring 2018
Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), an in-situ thermal oil recovery method is successfully utilized to extract bitumen from the Canadian oil sands. To improve the reservoir performance, an idea of closed-loop reservoir management (CLRM) was proposed that comprises near-continuous data...

Real-Time Feedback Control of the SAGD Process using Model Predictive Control to Improve Recovery: A Simulation Study
DownloadSpring 2015
Scope of the Work: For over a decade, the oil industry has been moving to “smart fields”, which deploy wells with remotely operated valves and permanently installed downhole sensors for real-time pressure and temperature measurements. Real-time data from these “intelligent wells” provide key...
