Mathematical Models in the Romanian Research and Development of Petroleum Industry: Achievements ... more Mathematical Models in the Romanian Research and Development of Petroleum Industry: Achievements and Perspectives, Vasile Badiu - Volunteer with SPE, Florin Vasile Badiu - Renault Romania, SPE Members
Abstract:
In 1857, Romania was the first country in the world to officially record an oil production of 275 tons in the international statistics, it was followed by official oil production from the United States in 1859, and petroleum is still vital for many world industries. The Petroleum Industry in Romania has a great history, which is still ongoing.
The American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME) and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) publications, as well as, the books by Morris Muskat, highlighted the role of mathematics in the petroleum industry and proved the relevance of the multidisciplinary and flexible team, promoted later by Nicolae Cristea as a standard in the Institute for Research and Technology (ICPT) Campina, since 1950.
Since 1970, the application software has been developed in ICPT by Nicolae Viorel Popescu team based on the existing methodologies of using similitude and analogy models and on the existing algorithms developed by researchers and used by technicians by manual calculations. Nicolae Viorel Popescu, was a leader of the Numerical Modeling and Simulation in Romanian scientific community, he founded in ICPT Campina the Mathematical Modeling Laboratory in 1991 and the Numerical Reservoir Simulation Laboratory in 1996. The multidisciplinary teams of ICPT Campina developed hundreds of application software for ICPT Campina research projects.
Since 2001, his legacy left to the Numerical Reservoir Simulation Laboratory has been taken forward in all activities: in-house Software Development, Database Management, Hardware Systems Administration and Integrated Reservoir Modeling using Integrated Software System as an outstanding activity in Petrom SA until 2005.
Since 2005, OMV Petrom mainly uses the commercial software as “black boxes” and only a very small fraction of ICPT software library. That “black boxes” can be successfully used only after less sophisticated methods and technologies which, constantly, proved to be more robust. Therefore, the ICPT software library need to be continuously updated and used for the benefit of OMV Petrom and Romanian Petroleum Industry.
Our paper we will present a summary of mathematical models developed in ICPT software library with the case studies: Monte Carlo Simulation for Resources and Reserves Evaluations, Numerical Simulation of Sucker Rod Pumping System, Water Flood Streamline Model and the Integrated Reservoir Modeling with a personal view of perspective for Mathematical Modeling in Romanian Research and Development activities.

Abstract:
The fundamental role of sciences needed to meet the world’s energy needs in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. In 1857, Romania was the first country in the world to officially record an oil production of 275 tons in the international statistics, it was followed by official oil production from the United States in 1859, and petroleum is still vital for many world industries. The Petroleum Industry in Romania has a great history, which is still ongoing.
