Applications of Ensemble Kalman Filter for characterization and history matching of SAGD reservoirs
DownloadFall 2011
Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is the most robust thermal recovery process that has unlocked western Canadian heavy oil and bitumen reserves into economical recovery. The prime challenges in SAGD heavy oil developments and well planning in the Northern Alberta formations are:...

Spring 2012
While numerical modeling and coupling techniques have been continuously studied, analytical solution or proxy modeling for geomechanical coupling of the steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) has not been clearly addressed in the literature. Simulations aside, there is no particular study on the...

Use of Temperature data for assisted history matching and characterization of SAGD heterogeneous reservoirs within EnKF framework
DownloadFall 2012
The Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF), a parameter estimation approach using the real-time DTS temperature observations is proposed for automatic history matching and quantitative reservoir characterization of SAGD reservoirs. EnKF algorithm is coupled with the discrete cosine transform (DCT) for...
