Taguchi and BEM Analyses on the Productivity Performance of an Oil Reservoir

The application of Taguchi Robust Design Technique (TRDT) coupled with the Boundary Element Menthod (BEM) in analyzing the productivity performance of an oil reservoir is presented in this paper. Several reservoir rock and reservoir fluid properties; i.e. permeability, thickness, porosity and viscos...
