Abstract

Neural network models can be used to predict the dynamics of low permeability, fractured reservoirs undergoing fluid injection. One such model was developed using data from a waterflood project in the South Belridge Diatomite (Kern County, California) to predict wellhead pressure as a function of injection rate, and vice versa. Neural networks were also created using data from a dual injector steamdrive pilot in the same field to correlate injection pressures and rates and temperature responses in seven observation wells.
