This workshop is for exploitation engineers working with mature water, polymer, or miscible floods who want to gain an understanding of how streamlines and our studioSL software can help. In today's economic climate of limited capital budgets, there are numerous opportunities to optimize ongoing IOR/EOR floods by applying basic reservoir engineering surveillance work steps.  But to do this, engineers need the correct diagnostics, which is where  streamlines and studioSL can make an important difference. This workshop will cover:

We are happy to announce a major revision to our website to improve usability across all displays: mobile, tablets, and desk-/laptops. Unfortunately, the re-design required to have users re-set passwords which is easily done following the instructions on the login page. One major improvement is the Support page with improved search capability and a simpler layout. We hope you will find the new site helpful.

Streamsim is excited to announce that 3DSL can now compute remaining fluids in place even for surveillance models. 3DSL does this by applying classic material balance to time-varying, streamline-based patterns. Details will be presented at the Western Regional Meeting in Bakersfield in SPE paper 185713.

We are pleased to announce release v2016.0922 of studioSL and 3DSL. Details can be found in the Release Log for each product on our website.

To upgrade, select Help-->Check for Updates and follow the instructions. If company policy prevents you from connecting to the Streamsim server, select Help-->Offline Updates to retrieve a zip-file from our website that can then be used to update studioSL.

Visit Streamsim's booth 4261 at this year's SPE ATCE in Dubai, Sept 26-28. В At this show, Streamsim will also be presenting SPE-181374 'Evolve: A Linear Workflow for Quantifying Reservoir Uncertainty'.

Visit Streamsim at booth 7516 in Hall D&E at this year's Global Petroleum Show (June 7-9, 2016). At this show, Streamsim will also be presenting Optimization of a Heavy Oil Polymer Flood and a Knowledge Bar at the Digitial Oil Fields Session.

See the May 2016 issue of JPT for our Technology Update article on Mature Flood Surveillance Using Streamlines. В With the recent drop in oil prices, operators are shifting to optimization of existing assets with minimal costs. For mature floods (water, chemical, and CO2), one low-cost optimization strategy is the intelligent adjustment of well-rate targets. While it is easy to identify high-water-cut or high-water-rate producers, it is not obvious to identify which injectors are contributing to oil production or fluid cycling.

We are happy to announce that the 12th annual meeting of the Streamsim/Stanford History Matching JIP will take place May 3rd and 4th (Tue/Wed), 2016 at Stanford University. This meeting is the last meeting of Phase IV and the beginning of Phase V (2016-2019). All Streamsim clients are invited to attend, but preference is given to current JIP members.
