What others say about modeling…
• Bratvold and Bickel…Two types– Verisimilitude- the appearance of reality– Cogent- enables decisions
• Haldorsen….the progress of ideas– Youth= simple, naïve– Adolescence=complex, naïve– Middle age=complex, sophisticated– Maturity= simple, sophisticated

Hypothesis
• Characteristics of a reservoir can be inferred from analyzing production and injection data only

Boundary Conditions
• Must be injection project
• Rates are most abundant data type
• Rates must vary
• No geologic model required
• Everything done in a spreadsheet

Remember:
Characteristics of a reservoir can be inferred from analyzing production and injection data
only

Recognizing testable hypotheses can be subtle and requires practice. To do it, ask “how would one test this
hypothesis”.

Future Work• Working spreadsheet
– Couple to GAMS– Excel vs. MATLAB– Multiplotting (visualization)
• Integrate with DA/VOI approaches• Propagating error/uncertainty• More validation (oil in tank)• Extend to primary recovery• Fluid allocation studies (conformance)• Optimize to produce more oil• Add EOR model(s)
