Abstract
Data analytics is fundamentally transforming industries. In recent years, there is a growing application of digital technologies in oil and gas exploration and production. At the same time, oil and gas operations are becoming increasingly complicated with modern facility infrastructures, complex reservoirs, increased regulatory requirements, changing workforce demographics, the fast pace of unconventional-field development and ultimately with much more competition. Data Analytics in Reservoir Engineering focuses on how best to use data analytics to transform the decision-making process in characterizing reservoir parameters, model reservoir behavior and forecast performance.
