Accelerating Physics-Based Simulations Using Neural Network Proxies: An Application in Oil Reservoir Modeling
Jiri Navratil, Alan King, Jesus Rios +3
We develop a proxy model based on deep learning methods to accelerate the simulations of oil reservoirs--by three orders of magnitude--compared to industry-strength physics-based P…
