Abstract This work proposes a new methodology to evaluate production forecast, economic return, energy demand, and carbon emissions of an oil field with multiple reservoirs sharing the same production facility in a scenario of uncertainty. Using a benchmark case, the reservoir performance forecasting for this scenario is evaluated on two categories of parameters: (1) reservoir and operational unc…

Abstract Reservoir simulators are essential for forecasting and production optimization, but their use in complex fractured reservoirs is often limited by high computational cost. This work proposes a streamlined method for building lower-fidelity, fit-for-purpose models (LFMs/FPMs) that preserve key reservoir behaviors while significantly reducing runtime. In this work, we found that, while a ty…
