ABSTRACT:
Systems, program product, and methods for providing real-time reservoir management of one or more reservoirs across one or more fields are provided. A system can include multiple monitoring wells and at least one injection well in communication with a central facility including a reservoir management computer or server positioned to provide real-time reservoir management of the one or more reservoirs. The computer can include, stored in memory, reservoir management program code, which when executed, can cause the computer to perform the operations of calibrating an injection well model for each of one or more injection wells positioned in a reservoir responsive to real-time injection rate and wellhead pressure data associated therewith, calculating static reservoir pressure for each of the injection wells responsive to the respective calibrated injection well model and responsive to respective surface injection rate and wellhead pressure data, and generating real-time automated isobaric pressure maps.
