高效的油藏模拟模型历史拟合仍然是油气行业面临的一项重大挑战。传统方法通常需要计算量巨大的模拟,这些模拟要么由油藏工程师手动完成,要么由将油藏模拟器视为黑箱的算法执行。相比之下,伴随方法能够通过一次反向计算高效地确定所有参数的灵敏度。然而,该方法的实现需要了解用于构建正向模型的偏微分方程,而商业模拟器通常不提供这些信息。

在本研究中,正向模拟由商业油藏模拟器执行,而反向计算则由外部代码开发。

Efficient history-matching of reservoir simulation models remains a paramount challenge in the oil and gas industry. Traditional approaches often require computationally expensive simulations, performed either manually by reservoir engineers or by algorithms that treat the reservoir simulator as a black box. In contrast, the adjoint method facilitates efficient determination of sensitivities to all parameters in a single backward calculation. However, its implementation requires knowledge of the partial differential equations used to develop the forward model, which is not available for commercial simulators.
