Sammendrag
The topic of this thesis is streamline-based integration of dynamic data for porous media systems, particularly in petroleum reservoirs. In the petroleum industry the integration of dynamic data is usually referred to as history matching. The thesis starts out by giving an introduction to streamline-based history-matching methods. Implementations and extensions of two existing methods for streamline-based history matching are then presented.

The first method pursued is based on obtaining modifications for streamline-effective properties, which subsequently are propagated to the underlying simulation grid for further iterations. For this method, two improvements are proposed to the original existing method. First, the improved approach involves less approximations, enables matching of porosity, and can account for gravity. Second, a multiscale approach is applied for which the data integration is performed on a hierarchy of coarsened grids. The approach proved robust, and gave a faster and better match to the data.

The second method pursued is the so-called generalized travel-time inversion (GTTI) method, which earlier has proven very robust and efficient for history matching. The key to the efficiency of this method is the quasilinear convergence properties and the use of analytic streamline-based sensitivity coefficients. GTTI is applied together with an efficient multiscale-streamline simulator, where the pressure solver is based on a multiscale mixed finite-element method (MsMFEM). To make the history matching more efficient, a selective work-reduction strategy, based on the sensitivities provided by the inversion method, is proposed for the pressure solver. In addition, a method for improved mass conservation in streamline simulation is applied, which requires much fewer streamlines to obtain accurate production-response curves. For a reservoir model with more than one million grid blocks, 69 producers and 32 injectors, the data integration took less than twenty minutes on a standard desktop computer. Finally, we propose an extension of GTTI to fully unstructured grids, where we in particular address issues regarding regularization and computation of sensitivities on unstructured grids with large differences in cell sizes.
