Accounting for Model Discrepancy in Uncertainty Analysis by Combining Numerical Simulation and Bayesian Emulation Techniques (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Formentin, H. N., Vernon, I., Goldstein, M., Caiado, C., Avansi, G., & Schiozer, D. (2020, September). Accounting for Model Discrepancy in Uncertainty Analysis by Combining Numerical Simulation and Bayesian Emulation Techniques. Presented at ECMOR XVII

Model discrepancy specifies unavoidable differences between a physical system and its corresponding computer model. Incomplete information, simplifications and lack of knowledge about the physical state originate model discrepancy. Misevaluation of m...

Efficient Selection of Reservoir Model Outputs within an Emulation-Based Bayesian History Matching Uncertainty Analysis (2020)
Journal Article
Ferreira, C., Vernon, I., Caiado, C., Formentin, H., Avansi, G., Goldstein, M., & Schiozer, D. (2020). Efficient Selection of Reservoir Model Outputs within an Emulation-Based Bayesian History Matching Uncertainty Analysis. SPE Journal, 25(4), 2119-2142. 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...

Gaining more understanding about reservoir behavior through assimilation of breakthrough time and productivity deviation in the history matching process. Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 173, 1080-1096. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.petrol.2018.10.045

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...

Emulation of reservoir production forecast considering variation in petrophysical properties (2018)
Journal Article
Moreno, R., Avansi, G., Schiozer, D., Vernon, I., Goldstein, M., & Caiado, C. (2018). Emulation of reservoir production forecast considering variation in petrophysical properties. Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 165, 711-725. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.petrol.2018.02.056

Implementation of proxy models, such as emulators might reduce the computational time required in a variety of reservoir simulation studies. By definition, an emulator uses reservoir properties as input parameters in a statistical model constructed f...

Bayesian uncertainty analysis for complex physical systems modelled by computer simulators with applications to tipping points (2015)
Journal Article
Caiado, C., & Goldstein, M. (2015). Bayesian uncertainty analysis for complex physical systems modelled by computer simulators with applications to tipping points. Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation, 26(1-3), 123-136. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cnsns.2015.02.006

In this paper we present and illustrate basic Bayesian techniques for the uncertainty analysis of complex physical systems modelled by computer simulators. We focus on emulation and history matching and also discuss the treatment of observational err...

Bayesian Strategies to Assess Uncertainty in Velocity Models (2012)
Journal Article
Caiado, C. C., Goldstein, M., & Hobbs, R. W. (2012). Bayesian Strategies to Assess Uncertainty in Velocity Models. Bayesian Analysis, 7(1), 211-234. https://doi.org/10.1214/12-ba707

Quantifying uncertainty in models derived from observed seismic data is a major issue. In this research we examine the geological structure of the sub-surface using controlled source seismology which gives the data in time and the distance between th...
