CSSR Joint Industry Workshop in Reservoir Management, FA 2-Bergen April 16th, 2024

Welcome to our hybrid joint industry workshop  for focus area 2 at NORCE in Bergen, 16th April 2024, from 10:00 to 16:00.

Venue: Nygårdsgaten 112, 5008 Bergen.

Agenda :

Data-driven approaches to improving modeling, simulation, and optimization

Focus area 2 of the CSSR center covers reservoir management powered by renewable energy. The work packages in this area all involve the use of data-driven methods. We focus on using approximative sub-models for complex processes in subsurface flow, such as well-reservoir interactions and relative permeability relationships, and the development of coupling strategies for solving such multi-model problems. Furthermore, we will develop a cascade of simulation models with varying complexity that can be used for efficient production optimization. A major class of models can be constructed by successive grid coarsening. Central research tasks are calibration of such models and how to utilize the models in gradient-based optimization.

This workshop’s purpose is to allow for an exchange of experience and close interaction between the research participants, operators, and service providers of CSSR. In addition to short presentations on relevant topics and ongoing work followed by informal discussions and idea-generating work, we are interested in suggestions and guidance for plans and problem formulations. Furthermore, we want to address industry-led research to integrate methods into open-source commercial-ready digital tools via Python interfaces.

We allow for online participation. The workshop is the day before the SPE Norway conference in Bergen.
