The management of oil fields that present high gas content is challenging, mainly in cases
where this represents a bottleneck for oil production due to gas platform constraints. One …

The quantitative use of time-lapse seismic (4D seismic) in data assimilation for uncertainty
reduction allows improvements in reservoir simulation models since the 4D seismic data …

Some fields in the Brazilian pre-salt feature light oil and high gas/CO 2 content, which is a
bottleneck to oil production due to gas processing restrictions in the facilities. To deal with …

Reservoir simulation models often support decision making in the development and
management of petroleum fields. The process is complex, sometimes treated subjectively …

The Brazilian pre-salt fields are carbonate reservoirs with good quality oils, but they can
present high amount of CO2 in dissolution, which leads to a high amount of produced gas …

Enhancing oil recovery in reservoirs with light oil and high gas content relies on optimizing
the miscible water alternating gas (WAG) injection profile. However, this can be costly and …

Scale represents a risk to the profitability of projects in the oil exploration and production
industry. The occurrence of the phenomenon has the potential to cause severe damage to …

This work presents a new open-source carbonate reservoir case study, the COSTA model,
that uniquely considers significant uncertainties inherent to carbonate reservoirs, providing a …

Rigorous and continual advancement in the computational domain have drastically reduced
the time consumed for simulations. Despite this, the heterogeneity and requirement to use …

The use of 4D seismic (4DS)(or time-lapse seismic, TLS) in data assimilation (DA) makes
the process more complex due to the higher amount of data to be assimilated, requiring …
