Incorporating Multiple Realisations into a new HPC Reservoir Simulator

该项目将提供一个优秀的油藏模拟软件程序，展示新的大规模并行计算体系结构的好处，以实现对地下油藏的更好管理。该项目的创新之处在于将多重实现能力(MR)引入到新的HPC油藏模拟器中。这一创新将使油藏工程师能够提高生产率，使他们能够理解模型中的不确定性，并提供历史匹配和预测优化选项。如今的工作实践由于需要一个可控制的应用程序、获得模拟器许可证、适当的硬件和有限的时间而受到阻碍。将MR功能添加到模拟器中将导致改进的模型，能够更好地预测，同时降低硬件和软件拥有的总成本。该项目汇集了尖端的硬件、软件开发和油藏工程专家，使模拟工具的能力发生了阶段性变化，使工程师能够制定开发计划，以优化油田生产。

This project will provide a superior reservoir simulation software program, demonstrating the benefits of a new massively parallel computing architecture, to enable better management of sub-surface reservoirs. The innovation in this project is to bring multiple realisation capability (MR) into a new HPC reservoir simulator. This innovation will empower Reservoir Engineers to be more productive, enabling them to understand the uncertainty in the models as well as offering history matching and forecasting optimisation options. Today's work practices are hampered by the need to have a controlling application, access to simulator licenses, appropriate hardware and limited time. Adding MR capability into the simulator will lead to improved models, capable of better predictions, whilst reducing the total cost of hardware and software ownership.This project brings together leading edge hardware, software development and reservoir engineering experts to provide a step change in capability of the simulation tools to enable engineers to formulate development plans to optimise field production.
