We present a fluid-flow constrained inversion approach for integrating controlled-source electromagnetic data and production data. In this approach, we assumed that the reservoir model has been well defined from a priori knowledge obtained from other independent measurements such as seismic and/or well-logs. Our objective was to reconstruct the permeability distribution and the shape and location of the flooding front. A finite-difference reservoir simulator was used to model the water-flooding process to simulate the time-dependent production data as well as the temporal and spatial distributions of water saturation and salt concentration, which were then transformed into the reservoir resistivity distribution using a petrophysical relationship. A finite-difference frequency-domain electromagnetic forward-modeling code was then employed to simulate the controlled-source electromagnetic response. The permeability distribution was reconstructed using a multiplicativeregularized Gauss-Newton algorithm for jointly inverting controlled-source electromagnetic and production data. From the water saturation distribution, we can identify the shape and location of the fluid-front resulting from the recovery process.

We present an approach for the simultaneous estimation of permeability and porosity from time-lapse seismic, time-lapse electromagnetic, and production data. Permeability and porosity are some of the most important parameters for reservoir characterization because of their significant influence over oil recovery. Both permeability and porosity has a big footprint on the distribution of saturation and pressure in the reservoir during production, which can be snapshot by the time-lapse seismic and time-lapse electromagnetic measurements. Production data is the traditional source used for reservoir model conditioning but only provides limited constraint to the reservoir model that is very localized to the near-wellbore regions. In contrast, time-lapse seismic and time-lapse electromagnetic can impose additional constraints to the reservoir model conditioning problem covering the inter-well regions. We have developed a reservoir centric workflow to allow jointly invert these multiphysical data. The non-uniqueness of this inverse problem is hence effectively reduced. We use a synthetic case to demonstrate that the proposed approach can significantly improve the estimation of permeability and porosity as well as the fluid-front movement monitoring.

“…Inversion methods for induction logging tools typically consider either parametric or pixel-based approaches (Liang et al, 2011). The former is usually preferred since the number of parameters to be optimized is significantly smaller compared to the pixel-based inversion.…”
