OPTIMAL DESIGN SYSTEM FOR DEVELOPMENT PLANNING OF HYDROCARBON RESOURCES

摘要

Methods and systems for managing hydrocarbon assets are provided. A method is provided for generating a development plan for a hydrocarbon asset. The method includes creating a high-fidelity computer model of a hydrocarbon asset and creating a low-fidelity computer model of the hydrocarbon asset. The low-fidelity computer model is iterated to an interim solution. The interim solution is compared to a solution obtained from a run of the high-fidelity computer model at the parameters of the interim solution. The low-fidelity computer model is calibrated, based, at least in part, on the comparison.
