Efficient Selection of Reservoir Model Outputs within an Emulation-Based Bayesian History Matching Uncertainty Analysis (2019)
Journal Article
Ferreira, C., Vernon, I., Caiado, C., Formentin, H., Avansi, G., Goldstein, M., & Schiozer, D. (2019). Efficient Selection of Reservoir Model Outputs within an Emulation-Based Bayesian History Matching Uncertainty Analysis. SPE Journal, OTC-29801. https://doi.org/10.4043/29801-ms

When performing classic uncertainty reduction based on dynamic data, a large number of reservoir simulations need to be evaluated at high computational cost. As an alternative, we construct Bayesian emulators that mimic the dominant behaviour of the...

History matching (HM) is an inverse problem where uncertainties in attributes are reduced by comparison with observed dynamic data. Typically, normalized misfit summarizes dissimilarities between observed and simulation data. Especially for long-time...

Systematic uncertainty reduction for petroleum reservoirs combining reservoir simulation and Bayesian emulation techniques (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Nandi Formentin, H., Vernon, I., Avansi, G. D., Caiado, C., Maschio, C., Goldstein, M., & Schiozer, D. J. (2019). Systematic uncertainty reduction for petroleum reservoirs combining reservoir simulation and Bayesian emulation techniques.

Reservoir simulation models incorporate physical laws and reservoir characteristics. They represent our understanding of sub-surface structures based on the available information. Emulators are statistical representations of simulation models, offeri...

Known Boundary Emulation of Complex Computer Models (2019)
Journal Article
Vernon, I., Jackson, S., & Cumming, J. (2019). Known Boundary Emulation of Complex Computer Models. SIAM/ASA Journal on Uncertainty Quantification, 7(3), 838-876. https://doi.org/10.1137/18m1164457

Computer models are now widely used across a range of scientific disciplines to describe various complex physical systems, however to perform full uncertainty quantification we often need to employ emulators. An emulator is a fast statistical constru... Read More about Known Boundary Emulation of Complex Computer Models.
