Let the optimizer chase EUR and woke up at 2:13 a.m… to a tNavigator run where the SRV ballooned to 3,200 acres and proppant apparently gained negative density, pushing recovery factor to 112%; anyone else see history match “improvements” that violate DFIT and gravity in one go? I need a way to cap the circus without losing the 8% uplift ops already penciled into Q3.
I’ve had tNavigator runs where SRV blows past geology at 2:13 a.m. too. > factor to 112%; anyone else see history match “improvements” that violate DFIT and gravity in one (same pain — hard-cap SRV per stage and set proppant density/closure-stress floors, plus a heavy penalty if RF > 100% or DFIT k drifts; freezing matrix perm and only tuning frac cond/leakoff kept our 8% uplift without the balloons).
Quick fix: pull proppant density out of the decision vector and add a soft penalty that ramps when SRV exceeds your DFIT-backed footprint (say net-pay map × 1.1), so you keep the about 8% uplift without inventing helium sand to hit 112%. @edwardE91, any microseismic or image logs to define that “cap the circus” envelope?
