The present proposal is divided into four research lines, namely: 1) Production Optimization (RL1) - Reservoir Modeling; 2) Production Optimization (RL2) - Artificial Lift and Flow Assurance; 3) EOR/IOR (RL3); and 4) Water Handling (RL4). In the Reservoir Modeling plan, the initial application (first years of project) will be in a reservoir with the characteristics of the Peregrino field …
This research project aimed to develop a system and to qualify professionals in the area of parallel computing in a network of workstations using PVM and the oil fields’ numerical simulators. It was initially developed on a network of workstations at Unicamp, and used the Black-Oil simulator of CMG, IMEX. The project was divided basically into four stages. In the first three, the objectiv…
Although continuous advances in the computational domain were observed in the past decades, numerical simulation is still challenging when applied for some kind of fields, due some characteristics: level of heterogeneity, field size, necessity to use compositional simulation, among others. When performing probabilistic procedures that demand high number of simulation runs, the time spent …

The goal of this project is to enhance and validate visualization approaches that support the tasks of petroleum analysts related to data assimilation processes. This project is a continuation of a work package from the Phase 1 of EPIC, whose main results were published in the paper of Turato et al. (2022).Given a set of models which the analysts suppose that appropriately represents a gi…
The goal of this project is to extend the implementation of the prototype "Reservoir Viewer for Web", which aims to use small multiples and pixelization techniques to show simultaneously a set of reservoir models at a single screen.Aiming to better understand an oil reservoir under study, engineers usually create reservoir models to capture its main features, due to the uncertainties obta…
A metamodel, or surrogate model, is a simplified model of an actual model of a system. Metamodels are particularly important when the true model is expensive to run, as they typically map a set of inputs to an expected output through regressions, which are, in general, quick to evaluate. It is possible to consider local metamodels, where the validity of the results is expected only in the…

The management of complex reservoirs, such as the naturally fractured typical of Brazilian pre-salt, demands high computational cost and time, requiring practical and efficient methodologies. The Closed-Loop Reservoir Development and Management (CLRDM) proposed by Schiozer et al (2019) is a promising methodology, as it describes 12 steps to assist the model-based decision-making process. …
4D seismic provides unique information regarding the properties of the reservoir between and beyond the wells; it can be used to locate bypassed oil, to identify not drained compartments or to mitigate risks such as an unexpectedly early breakthrough of injected fluids. The integration of geophysics and engineering information increase the predictive capability of reservoir simulations, a…
