CiSoft Seminar Series 2011

Speaker: Professor Jan Dirk Jansen, Delft University of Technology

Talk Title: Closed Loop Reservoir Management

Abstract: Closed-loop reservoir management is a combination of model-based optimization and computer-assisted history matching. The aim is to maximize life-cycle reservoir performance, in terms of recovery or financial measures, by changing reservoir management from a periodic to a near-continuous process. I will present work from our group at Delft University to illustrate the scope for closed-loop water flooding using real-time production data under uncertain reservoir conditions. In particular I’ll address the effect of update frequency, ways to systematically incorporate uncertainties, and approaches to reconcile short-term production optimization and long-term reservoir management.


Biography: Jan-Dirk Jansen is Professor of Reservoir Systems and Control at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. His current research is focused on the application of systems and control theory to subsurface flow and well bore flow. Earlier, he worked for Shell in the Netherlands, Norway and Nigeria, in research and operations. He is currently spending a year at Stanford University as Cox Visiting Professor in the Department of Energy Resources Engineering.
