ABSTRACT
Before beginning a reservoir numerical simulation process, it is necessary to dedicate an
extensive time to a quality review of the data that will be used as input in the simulator,
to finally proceed with the characterization, validation, optimization and forecast stages
of the process. It is just in this stage of pre-processing where delays appear because there
is not a standardized process that makes this activity fast. For this reason, this research is
based on the optimization of this stage using digital transformation for developing a
proof of concept applied to the relative permeability curves that can reduce the pre-
processing times. Using a data driven process, we ensure a workflow in which the error
generated by data manipulation occurs. The developed software which is called "Data
Creator X”, offers great confidence; in its testing stage, processes and treats laboratory
tests results, generating relative permeability curves and information necessary to input
in the simulator. Despite the fact that the proof of concept involves relative permeability
curves, this software is designed to be extended to other reservoir simulation stages, such
as the production history adjustment, the aquifers information, the geo cellular model or
surveys, shuts and events, to lead, finally, to the creation of a simulation master file in
order to start the simulation, generating a system that is continuously and timely updated
2
with an established quality control of the data. Finally, obtained software, not only
accomplishes the characteristics to haste the pre-processing stage, but opens the door
to new developments that mark the path of digital transformation in reservoir numerical
simulation. Reducing work times, minimizing costs for companies, and, with the
implementation of neural networks and machine learning, generate processes that
continuously improve.
