Systems and methods for performing drilling rig operations

A drilling rig system comprising:

• well monitoring hardware that generates actual well data from a plurality of wells, wherein the actual well data comprises an actual geographic location for each well of the plurality of wells;
• a reservoir computer model computing system comprising:
• a reservoir computer model data memory that stores a reservoir computer model comprising model well data for a plurality of modeled wells, wherein the plurality of modeled wells correspond to the plurality of wells, and the model well data comprises a model geographic location for each modeled wells of the plurality of modeled wells;
• a reservoir computer model updater that:
• accesses the model well data from the reservoir computer model;
• determines a grid model vertical mismatch from the actual well data and the model well data;
• determines whether the grid model vertical mismatch satisfies a grid model vertical mismatch metric, wherein:
• the grid model vertical mismatch metric is satisfied when the grid model vertical mismatch is greater than a seismic uncertainty of the reservoir computer model;
• when the grid model vertical mismatch metric is satisfied, the reservoir computer model updater globally updates the reservoir computer model by writing the actual well data to the reservoir computer model stored in the reservoir computer model data memory;
• and
• when the grid model vertical mismatch metric is not satisfied, the reservoir computer model updater compares the plurality of wells of the actual well data to a cluster metric, wherein the cluster metric comprises a threshold distance between wells, and the cluster metric is satisfied when an average distance between wells of the plurality of wells is less than the threshold distance;
• when the cluster metric is satisfied, the reservoir computer model updater locally updates the reservoir computer model proximate the plurality of modeled wells corresponding to the plurality of wells by writing the actual well data to the reservoir computer model stored in the reservoir computer model data memory;
• and
• when the cluster metric is not satisfied, the reservoir computer model updater globally updates the reservoir computer model by writing the actual well data to the reservoir computer model stored in the reservoir computer model data memory;
• and
• a reservoir computer model output translation module that translates at least a portion of the model well data for use in drilling a well using drilling components of a drilling rig.

A method of performing drilling rig operations, the method comprising:

• generating, using well monitoring hardware, actual well data from a plurality of wells, wherein the actual well data comprises actual property data for the plurality of wells;
• accessing model property data from a reservoir computer model;
• comparing, using one or more processors, actual property data statistics from the actual property data with modeled property data statistics from modeled property data according to a property statistic metric wherein the property statistic metric is satisfied when an error between the actual property data statistics and the modeled property data is less than a threshold;
• when the property statistic metric is satisfied:
• comparing, using the one or more processors, synthetic well log data determined from the modeled property data with actual well log data according to a model predictability metric, wherein the model predictability metric is satisfied when a log error between the synthetic well log data and the actual well log data is less than a log error threshold;
• when the model predictability metric is satisfied, locally updating, using the one or more processors, the reservoir computer model proximate the plurality of wells based at least in part on the actual property data;

• and
• translating, using a reservoir computer model output translation module, at least a portion of the modeled property data for use in drilling a well using drilling components of a drilling rig.
