Burst mode Uncertainty Management can be used to formulate more precise asset quantification – thus giving producers a clearer picture of how much additional oil can be produced from available assets to produce a measurable financial return.

Traditionally, uncertainty analysis typically involved running several of hundreds of simulations which takes months time on the regular computer. However, with the arrival of Windows HPC Server 2008, it is possible to run all relevant simulations from one node and share the tasks among several other nodes and compile the results to the original node that sent out the assignment. This process is fast, easy and enables a better, more accurate understanding of reservoir behavior and the associated uncertainties.

Cluster-based HPC and case management interfaces can be used to study well placement and injection schemes, allowing engineers to make more informed production decisions. As enhanced oil recovery (EOR) becomes an increasingly important element of early-stage production planning, (where the dynamic behavior of the reservoir is poorly understood), identifying uncertainty is critically important.

Microsoft Windows 2008 Compute Cluster Server and SUNBURST smart interfaces make multiple runs possible and make the output of dynamic simulation(s) easier to understand. Presenting output in an easy-to-use graphical interface allows assets to be more precisely quantified by both reserve size and ability-to-produce. Forward-looking E&P managers can now apply cluster-based HPC and advanced software to manage uncertainty in a variety of mature field production situations.
