A system includes a processing device and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processing device to cause the system to perform operations. The operations include generating and running a reservoir simulation model. The reservoir and simulation model includes representative natural fracture or secondary porosity attributes for an area of interest for one or more wells. The operations also include generating a synthetic G-function response using results of the reservoir simulation model. Additionally, the operations include calibrating the synthetic G-function response from the reservoir simulation model to a field G-function response generated using results of a field diagnostic fracture injection test by changing natural fracture characteristics of the reservoir simulation model. Further, the operations include formulating a drilling plan, a completion plan, or both for a wellbore in the area of interest using the synthetic G-function response.

Well operations involving synthetic fracture injection test

In some embodiments, an apparatus and a system, as well as a method and an article, may operate to receive parameters for a first node of a network, the network including a plurality of segments through which an object is to be routed and a plurality of nodes, including the first node, representative of intersections of two or more segments of the plurality of segments; to generate segment lengths for segments between the first node and neighboring nodes to identify a nearest neighboring node with a shortest segment length relative to the first node; and to repeat operations of receiving parameters, generating segment lengths, and identifying nearest neighboring nodes until a route has been identified between a first endpoint and a second endpoint of the network. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Path optimization in production network systems

Systems and methods for a hybrid approach to assisted history matching in large reservoirs based on a reservoir model built using connectivity between each production well and each corresponding injection well, aquifer or gas cap.

Hybrid approach to assisted history matching in large reservoirs

A system for Water-Alternating-Gas (WAG) injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) includes a mechanical well configured to enable multi-point selective injection for water and gas. The system further includes an optimization engine configured to calculate reservoir flow dynamics and selectively inject water and gas via the mechanical well according to reservoir flow dynamics.

Method, system, and optimization technique to improve oil reservoir recovery in the Water-Alternating-Gas injection process by using downhole control valves (WAG-CV)

A method and non-transitory program carrier device tangibly carrying computer executable instructions for adjusting downhole valve settings in order to optimize oil recovery and reduce water production from a well. The method and non-transitory program carrier device are particularly advantageous in wells with intelligent completions that are often referred to as smart wells. In the oil and gas industry, an Internal Control Valve (ICV) is an important tool for both reactive and proactive approaches to adjust ICV settings to improve oil recovery.
