Modeling Multiphase Flow in Naturally Fractured Vuggy Petroleum Reservoirs
A multicontinuum conceptual model is presented and implemented into a three-dimensional, three-phase reservoir simulator, using a generalized multicontinuum modeling approach. The conceptual model, proposed for investigating multiphase flow and displacement through naturally fractured vuggy carbonate reservoirs, is based on observation and analysis of geological data, as well as on core example...
متن کاملA multiple-continuum model for simulating single-phase and multiphase flow in naturally fractured vuggy reservoirs
a r t i c l e i n f o The existence of vugs or cavities in naturally fractured reservoirs has long been observed. Even though these vugs are known for their large attribution to reserves of oil, natural gas, or groundwater, few quantitative investigations of fractured vuggy reservoirs have been conducted. In this paper, a multiple-continuum conceptual model is presented, based on geological dat...
متن کاملA Multiscale Mortar Mixed Finite Element Method
We develop multiscale mortar mixed finite element discretizations for second order elliptic equations. The continuity of flux is imposed via a mortar finite element space on a coarse grid scale, while the equations in the coarse elements (or subdomains) are discretized on a fine grid scale. The polynomial degree of the mortar and subdomain approximation spaces may differ; in fact, the mortar sp...

متن کاملCoupling Geomechanics and Transport in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
Large amounts of hydrocarbon reserves are trapped in naturally fractured reservoirs which arechallenging in terms of accurate recovery prediction because of their joint fabric complexity andlithological heterogeneity. Canada, for example, has over 400 billion barrels of crude oil in fracturedcarbonates in Alberta, most of this being bitumen of viscosity greater than 106 cP in the GrosmontFormat...
