Reservoir Simulation: 2018 #20

Problem 20. The top 10 golden rules for reservoir simulation studies does NOT include (per Aziz):

(A) Question Data Adjustments for History Matching.
(B) Smooth Extremes.
(C) Keep It Simple.
(D) Do Trust Your Judgement.

This solution if found in the Guidebook on 13 RES 11 (as well as TS7 P360). The answer is of course (B); "don't" smooth extremes regarding reservoir simulation. Note the "golden rules" have  a predominate section in TS7.

  1. I checked in the TS7 P360 (the guidebook does not have it), "Don't Smooth Extremes" is one of the top 10 golden rules.
    David, could you please verify that.

    2. Anon, I think the GB has been correct, it's just my blog post and the older versions of this exam that had the error. Thanks for spotting it.
