In a world as technically intricate as the oil and gas industry—when billions of dollars of revenue are on the line—reservoir engineers must be confident that they have predicted the behavior of complex systems with reasonable accuracy. Dr. Richard F. Strickland, president of The Strickland Group, is an expert in the field of reservoir behavior analysis. In his business, he is frequently asked to compare disparate reservoir simulation datasets of […]

The Challenge: Understanding Complex Subsurface Fluid Interactions Before optimization of recovery methods for sub-surface oil and gas reservoirs can be obtained, a thorough understanding of the reservoir is required. These reservoirs have many complex structural, geological, and fluid characteristics that are impossible to fully understand using actual measurements and physical testing. Static and dynamic computer-based models and an arsenal of high-tech, computational tools are required to simulate reservoir performance and […]
