What it is?
The process of modifying the existing model
data until a reasonable comparison is made
with the observed data is called history
matching.

Objective
s
Identifying the parameters and mechanics
how is effecting in history matching
Better understanding of reservoir processes
Improve the reservoir description and data
acquisition program
Identify unusual operating conditions
Improve and validate the reservoir
simulation model

Methods of History
matching
Manual
Run simulation for historical period
Compare results to actual field data
Adjust simulation input to improve match
Selection of input data based on knowledge
and experience
Automatic
Minimizes the objective function; i.e.,
difference between observed reservoir
performance and simulation results
Excludes human knowledge/experience
factor; thus results could be in error

Mechanics of history
matching
There are several parameters which can be varied either singly
or collectively to minimize the differences between observed
data and calculated data by the simulator.

Modifications using rock data
11
Modifications using Fluid
Saturations
Example (1): Inability to maintain a given production rate and
consequent pressure drop in reservoir pressure and fluid
saturation.
Reason: This is generally due to insufficient oil in place and
insufficient influx in the given locality
Action: changing pore volume or an increase in oil saturation
13
Adjusting reservoir data
to match Production
To match average reservoir pressure, adjust:
Aquifer size
Pore volume
Total system compressibility
