The UNIX Reservoir Engineering Support System (RESS) is a system of networked computer applications delivering cost-effective access to state-of-the-art technology for reservoir evaluation and forecasting. This reservoir simulation support system is a set of tools to enhance engineering productivity for efficiently managing the exploitation of oil and gas reserves. RESS provides a dynamic environment in which multiple reservoir engineering tasks, such as data preparation, reservoir model submission with subsequent monitoring, and graphics, can be processed and displayed simultaneously. RESS integrates applications with complex interfaces over UNIX networks with X Window client/server architecture. The powerful multiplatform computing environment includes tools for various reservoir engineering applications residing on various platforms and the accessibility to all of it from the computing platforms on engineers' desks.

Union Pacific Resources Co. (UPRC) is a large independent operator with about 100 petroleum engineers. UPRC has a reasonably sophisticated PC network with many hundreds of PC's connected by several local area network (LAN) servers. Essentially all engineers have a 386-based PC on their desks with access to a host of software packages, peripheral devices, and mainframe computers, Many engineers have acquired 486-based PC's. UPRC's solution has involved migrating from a DOS-based platform on individual users' desks to UNIX workstations. Dozens of UNIX workstations are networked; some are on the desk', while others are located in central locations. Reservoir simulation, geostatistical modeling, image processing, and log analysis are now done exclusively on the UNIX workstations. Numerous DOS-based programs, however, have not yet been migrated into the UNIX environment. This paper describes the topography of both PC DOS and UNIX workstations networks in UPRC and examines the flow of information in each network configuration to identify differences. The successes and failures of various techniques for providing access to both platforms are presented.

A menu-driven workstation application program designed to analyze reservoir data and construct reservoir simulation models with a geostatistical approach is presented. The program analyzes reservoir data in the form of well logs and interpreted bed markers and allows interactive fitting of variogram models to data. These models then are used to construct gridded models of reservoir flow properties by kriging and conditional simulations and the use of flow-property transforms of well log values. The interpolation of data to the interwell region is done in a stratigraphic framework that honors the geologic interpretations provided by the bed markers. Small-scale variations are added through a number of methods (matrix, fractal, sequential, simulated annealing) to produce conditional simulations that reproduce the measured variability of properties at unsampled locations. The program also integrates indirect information, such as acoustic impedance derived from seismic data, with well-log data by several different methods. The program has an intuitive and accessible data interface, a structured sequence of user prompts and error checks, and striking graphical presentations of modeling results. With it, the complex task of converting geological data into quantitative reservoir models for flow simulation and reservoir performance prediction is greatly streamlined.

In reservoir management, use of numerical reservoir simulators is playing an increasing role in developing planning, completion design, operating policies, and surveillance. Computer models, both in-house and commercial, are being used in EOR projects with detailed reservoir description for better understanding of the physics of multiphase fluid flow through porous media, history matching field and/or well performance, performing case sensitivities for variations in operating policy, and optimizing pattern and well spacing. For reservoir simulation to reach its full potential, it must become a tool that practicing reservoir engineers use with a high level of confidence. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate graphical postprocessing of reservoir simulation output as a key part in the overall results analysis process and as a critical link in assisting reservoir engineers with limited simulation experience to make competent decisions regarding reservoir development and operation.
