How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Summary Well operation accounts for potential geological and technological capabilities is one of the important factors affecting the efficient production of hydrocarbon reserves. The main tool for substantiating the technological efficiency of drilling new wells is a geological hydrodynamic network model of the field of development object. However, the process of creating a development plan is time-consuming, and the result, in certain cases, ambiguous. To address potential well development area in terms of residual oil, new integrated analysis workflow summarized based on the results which directly related to a reliable study of the sedimentation medium, in particular microfacies and various reservoir property data and production behavior of wells. The new workflow includes the following steps: 1. Study a well re-completion potential and idle wells conditions 2. Establish favorable phase areas for static analysis 3. Carry out dynamic parameters with an application of seismic inversion 4. Identify potential sites constrained by seismic, geological studies and initial production of the oil field 5. Provide suggestions in a new well development plan. This workflow has been applied successfully for the selection of potential zones for drilling new wells at the preliminary design stage, before creating a production network for the reservoir site model.
