Abstract

A method of optimizing production of a hydrocarbon-containing reservoir by measuring low-frequency Distributed Acoustic Sensing (LFDAS) data in the well during a time period of constant flow and during a time period of no flow and during a time period of perturbation of flow and simultaneously measuring Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) data from the well during a time period of constant flow and during a time period of no flow and during a time period of perturbation of flow. An initial model of reservoir flow is provided using the LFDAS and DTS data; the LFDAS and DTS data inverted using Markov chain Monte Carlo method to provide an optimized reservoir model, and that optimized profile utilized to manage hydrocarbon production from the well and other asset wells.
