Topic:                        Reduced Order Modeling for Accelerating Decisions under Subsurface Uncertainty

Abstract:
Supporting oil and gas field development decisions is the main objective of reservoir modeling and simulation.  Decision support under deep subsurface uncertainty at multiple scales is extremely challenging.  In this talk, I summarize the key computational challenges and present an overview of reduced order modeling techniques used to accelerate the decision support process.  Approaches such as numerical homogenization, non-uniform coarsening, reduced physics modeling, and recent advances based on machine learning are discussed.

Bio
Xiao-Hui Wu joined ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company in 1997 and is currently a Senior Mathematical Modeling Consultant in ExxonMobil Upstream Integrated Solutions Company.  He led multiple research projects in reservoir modeling and performance prediction.  His current interest includes combining machine learning and physics-based models as well as decision making under uncertainty.  Wu holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Tennessee and has done post-doctoral studies in Applied Mathematics at California Institute of Technology.  He has been a technical editor for the SPE Journal and served on the SPE Reservoir Simulation Symposium program committee, and he was an SPE Distinguished Lecturer from 2015-2016.
