AI-based (Top-Down) Reservoir Simulation & Modeling

This course offers an in-depth exploration of AI-based (Top-Down) Reservoir Simulation and Modeling, revolutionizing the traditional numerical reservoir simulation used in the petroleum industry over the past six decades. Unlike conventional Bottom-Up approaches, this innovative method employs historical production data and AI-driven Geo-Analytics to model reservoirs from a top-down perspective, eliminating assumptions and biases. The course covers the foundational concepts of artificial intelligence, distinctions between artificial general intelligence and artificial engineering intelligence, and their specific applications in reservoir engineering. Students will gain hands-on experience with advanced AI techniques, including explainable AI, automated history matching, forecasting, and production optimization using specialized software tools. Through this training, engineers will be equipped to leverage AI for faster, more accurate reservoir modeling and decision-making.
