..., Frontier, and Mowry--placed on production in the past dozen years. To control for the impact of geologic and reservoir properties on well performance, the authors defined 12 geologically distinct areas ("partitions") for the Turner, Frontier, and Mowry Shale in the Powder River Basin (4 partitions in each...

... is to partition the reservoir model into independent sub-domains associated with individual wells based on the Diffusive Time of Flight (DTOF) computed as solution to the Eikonal equation using the FMM. Multiphase production rates are then computed for each well by utilizing the DTOF as spatial coordinate...

... description of fracture geometry. Thus, our proposed method serves as a bridge between simplified analytical tools and complex numerical simulation. The well interference time can be quickly estimated and the reservoir can be partitioned accordingly based on the competing pseudo steady state drainage volumes...
