1 UCoMS A Grid-enabled Workflow System for Reservoir Uncertainty Analysis Emrah Ceyhan, Gabrielle Allen, Chris White, Tevfik Kosar* Center for Computation & Technology Louisiana State University June 23, 2008 CLADE 08 AT LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY

2 Roadmap UCoMS Project Reservoir Modeling & Uncertainty Analysis Computing and Data Challenges Data-Aware Workflow Solution Results and Conclusion

3 Oil Industry in Louisiana Major oil producing state in US: 5th in production 8th in reserves Home to 2 of 4 strategic petroleum reserves 17 petroleum refineries (capacity 2.8M barrels/ day) Ports receive ultra large oil tankers 20,000 oil producing wells, around 4K offshore.

4 UCoMS Ubiquitous Computing & Monitoring System for Discovery & Management of Energy Resources DOE/Louisiana BOR funded Petroleum engineering Wireless sensor networks Grid technologies Applications Reservoir simulation Uncertainty analysis, sensitivity studies, history matching Real-time well surveillance Drilling performance analysis with high-rate data

5 Reservoir Simulation Mathematical model for fluid flow in a reservoir involves density, permeability (K), mobility, pressure (P), production rate (q), porosity & saturation, where m denotes either oil, water or gas. Many geological parameters cannot be measured or modeled and are unknowns. We are using UTChem (3D, multiphase, multicomponent, compositional, variable temperature, FD simulator)

6 Reservoir Uncertainty Analysis Understand the effect of uncertainty in reservoir studies to guide development and operational decisions Uncertainty in different (geological) parameters (factors) pressure, permeability, water saturation, critical gas saturation, gas/water end points Factors (parameters) are classified into Controllable: Can be varied by process implementers, e.g. Well Location, injection rate, Observable: Can be relatively accurately measured but not controlled, e.g. Depth to a structure, Uncertain: Cannot be accurately measured or controlled, e.g. Permeability far from wells,

7 UCoMS Challenges Computation: Millions of simulations, each running hours Data: Each simulation processing MB of data More than 1PB data total Real-time flow of data from sensors to grid resources Sensor control and monitoring Automated allocation, location, transfer, and archiving \ Workflow: Coordination of Computation and Data

8 End-to-end Scenario Experiment Sensing & Control Sensor data Data Storage &Transfer EnKF Seismic Models UTChem/BlackOil Computing HPC & Grid resources 8
