Short Presentation Abstract:
Current full-field models at Queensland Gas Company (QGC) typically contain thousands of coal-seam gas (CSG) wells, spanning ~4,000 sq.km. The goal of history matching individual wells in these models at a well level can present a significant challenge. Previous methods applied in QGC were to history match to a field level and more recently to apply well level property modifiers in a semi-automated workflow to match produced volumes at a well level. The new method, implemented through python, can attempt to minimise multiple match metrics (pressure mismatch, rate mismatch, etc.) through the modification of multiple different reservoir grid properties in a single iteration, at a well-level, resulting in fewer iterations to converge on a satisfactory history-match.
