Surrogate Reservoir Model (SRM)

The Large computational footprint is the main reason behind under-utilization of numerical reservoir simulation models that results in low modeling ROI. Smart Proxy (Surrogate Reservoir Model - SRM) is an accurate replica of a traditional numerical reservoir simulation model. It is NOT a statistically generated response surface. Invented by Intelligent Solutions, Inc., Smart Proxy uses machine learning and pattern recognition to capture the physics being modeled by the numerical simulation and then mimics its behavior with up to 98% accuracy. Smart Proxy has the capability of reproducing highly accurate well-based and grid-based simulation responses as a function of changes in reservoir characteristics and operational constraints, in seconds. Building Smart Proxy requires only a handful of simulation runs.
