Parallel Implementation of the Deterministic Ensemble Kalman Filter for Reservoir History Matching
2021
In this paper, the deterministic ensemble Kalman filter is implemented with a parallel technique of the message passing interface based on our in-house black oil simulator. The implementation is separated into two cases: (1) the ensemble size is greater than the processor number and (2) the ensemble size is smaller than or equal to the processor number. Numerical experiments for estimations of three-phase relative permeabilities represented by power-law models with both known endpoints and unknown endpoints are presented. It is shown that with known endpoints, good estimations can be obtained. With unknown endpoints, good estimations can still be obtained using more observations and a larger ensemble size. Computational time is reported to show that the run time is greatly reduced with more CPU cores. The MPI speedup is over 70% for a small ensemble size and 77% for a large ensemble size with up to 640 CPU cores.
