13 CURRENT R&D ACTIVITIES

14 The roadmap

15 Multi scale understanding Pore Core Field Pore space Grain Opal-CT gas water oil water Coccolith Coccolith CHALK

16 Mature fields Chemical EOR Challenges Temp. gradients Complex flow pattern Multiple Wells Geochemistry Oil Displacement Water Chemistry

17 Combine multiphase models with chemistry - interpret & upscale lab experiments IORCoreSim (DOUCS) Geochemistry Polymer, Silicate Surfactant Pore scale (LB & DPD) IORSim Geochemistry ECLIPSE, OPM,. + Polymer, silicate MEOR Surfactant MEOR? Tracers, Nanoparticles and?

18 The Yard test-halliburton SNF, SAR, and Matek-Samson Quantifying the degradation of polymer when passing different chokes Two polymers, at three concentrations, are being pumped through valves

19 Full scale test at IRIS

20 Reservoir characterization to improve macroscopic sweep DEVELOPMENT & IMPROVED METHOLOGY FOR FULL FIELD RESERVOIR SIMULATION TOOLS TRACER THECNOLOGY & TRACER DEVELOPMENT IMPROVE VOLUMETRIC SWEEP FIELD SCALE EVALUATION & HISTORY MATCHING & OPTIMIZATION

21 4D seismic History Matching (HM)

22 Starck, Jean-Luc, Fionn Murtagh, and Jalal Fadili. Sparse Image and Signal Processing: Wavelets and Related Geometric Multiscale Analysis. Cambridge University Press, 2015 Proposed framework Wavelet-based sparse representation

23 Numerical example: 3D Brugge field model Preliminary results when both production and seismic data are used Reference log PERMX (at layer 2) Mean log PERMX (at layer 2) of initial guess Mean log PERMX (at layer 2) after history matching SPE MS 4D seismic history matching Xiaodong Luo et. al.

24 Example on interaction&innovation Hole Cleaning model commercial available (Sekal) 2016: Test-period with CoP, Statoil and Wintershall Spin-off study: Guidelines for hole cleaning Software Prototype: Drilling Optimization Plan Software Product: Drilling Optimiza tion Plan Studies: Well studies, Total Mini-core transport, Talisman Hook-load correction, Statoil Analyze wired pipe, CoP 24

25 Drilling Process Optimisation Modelling of cuttings transport from the well Benefit for industry: Reduce time spent circulating hole clean by 25%

26 Cement integrity during thermal cycling Benefit to industry: Improved well integrity through better cement composition

27 P&A - Can the tubing be left in the hole? Benefit to industry: Decreased P&A costs

28 OUR STRENGTHS AND HOW WE DISTINGUISH OURSELVES FROM OTHERS

29 Joining forces key to success The IORSim (NIORC incl. Schlumberger) The Yard test (NIORC incl. Halliburton, and SNF, SAR, and Matek-Samson) IOR Chemicals
