StatoilHydro and Schlumberger Optimise WAG Technologies

StatoilHydro and Schlumberger Information Solutions (SIS) have developed new reservoir optimisation technologies as a result of their two-year research and development collaboration.

The range of technologies and practises developed and tested optimise StaoilHydro's Water Alternating Gas (WAG) processes, SIS says.

Integration of proprietary and commercial technologies from Schlumberger enable optimisation of the WAG cycle with respect to all reservoir and surface constraints as well as business objectives.

Other developments include new "coarse" reservoir models that provide high resolution around the wells that support rapid reservoir simulation and automated real-time data management processes.
