Development, Analysis and Numerical Tests of a Compositional Reservoir Simulator
The governing equations of a compositional model for three-phase multicomponent fluid flow in multi-dimensional petroleum reservoirs are cast in terms of a pressure equation and a set of component mass balance equations in this paper. The procedure is based on a pore volume constraint for component partial molar volumes, which is different from earlier techniques utilizing an equation of state ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Nitrogen Foam Injection to Control Water Cresting by Bilateral Horizontal Well in Bottom Water Reservoir
By numerical simulation, a bilateral horizontal well is placed in a crude oil reservoir with bottom water. The upper branch which is located near the top of the reservoir is for producing and the lower branch which is located near the oil water contract is for nitrogen foam injecting. Packers are used to control the alternation between productions and injections. When water cut of the upper bra...
متن کاملReservoir Performance Assessment Based on Intelligent Well Technology
The main challenge facing the oil industry is to reduce development costs while accelerating recovery with maximizing reserves. One of the key enabling technologies in this area is intelligent well completions. Intelligent well technology (IWT) is a relatively new technology that has been adopted by many operators in recent years to improve oil and gas recovery. Intelligent well completions emp...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Hydrate Dissociation Performance in the South China Sea with Different Horizontal Well Configurations
Based on the available measurement data and literature on the hydrate deposits of the South China Sea, a numerical simulation with a new dual horizontal well system has been carried out. Warm brine stimulation combined with depressurization is employed as the production method. Two horizontal wells were situated in the same horizontal plane and they were placed in the middle of the Hydrate-Bear...
متن کاملEffect of Discontinuous Shales on Reservoir Performance During Horizontal Waterflooding
We investigate quantitatively the effect of inclined and intersecting discontinuous shales on horizontal waterfloods, using generic, dimensionless twoand three-dimensional models. We focus upon whether the shales alter the sweep efficiency. We find that they have a significant effect only if they are continuous over large areas of the bedding surfaces and are steeply inclined to the flow, or if...
