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…
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…
Polymer flooding is an EOR recovery technique widely used in heavy-oil reservoirs to enhance the sweep efficiency due to modification of the mobility ratio. However, the charges present in the polymer chains interact with the rock formation leading to additional effects in porous media, like adsorption causing the reduction of the polymer concentration in the aqueous solution, breakage of…
Heavy oil petroleum fields have normally low recovery factors and, consequently, lower net present values. Many techniques can be used to improve oil recovery in these reservoirs. Polymer flooding is one of the most successful chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods and is implemented primarily to accelerate oil production by sweep improvement (Skauge et al.,2018). Polymer flooding s…

The success of the decision-making processes related to the development and management of petroleum fields relies on the proper understanding of the reservoir. To do so, practitioners use geological and simulation models to perform in-depth analysis of fluid flow over time to decide on the best production strategy. The process begins with a team of geoscientists and consists in building a…
Due to the high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) as contaminant, combined to the high GOR (gas-oil ratio) of the fluids present in the Brazilian pre-salt reservoirs and because environmental reasons, researches on the advanced recovery technique like the water alternating with CO2 injection (CO2-WAG) have become highly relevant on the national scenario. In fact, this method has been …
Reservoir development and management processes are usually computational and timedemanding, requiring an efficient and practical methodology application. The Closed-LoopReservoir Development and Management (CLRDM) proposed by Schiozer et al. (2019) can be apromising methodology for highly complex reservoirs in different field stages, as they describe12 steps to assist the decision-making …

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…
