Gridding for Petroleum Reservoir Simulation
We consider optimization of computational grids for petroleum reservoir flow simulations. In this context grid quality is determined by two independent error sources. On the one hand there is a loss of precision caused by upscaling of geological data from the fine geological grid to the coarser computational grid, and on the other hand there are numerical errors induced by a non-regular computa...
متن کاملApplication of M3GM in a Petroleum Reservoir Simulation
Reservoir formations exhibit a wide range of heterogeneity from micro to macro scales. A simulation that involves all of these data is highly time consuming or almost impossible; hence, a new method is needed to meet the computational cost. Moreover, the deformations of the reservoir are important not only to protect the uppermost equipment but also to simulate fluid pattern and petroleum produ...

متن کاملFully compositional and thermal reservoir simulation
Fully compositional and thermal reservoir simulation capabilities are important in oil exploration and production. There are significant resources in existing wells and in heavy oil, oil sands, and deep-water reservoirs. This article has two main goals: (1) to clearly identify chemical engineering sub-problems within reservoir simulation that the PSE community can potentially make contributions...
متن کاملCompositional Modeling of Wax Formation in Petroleum Mixtures
Heavy organics deposition is a common problem in oil industry, especially in oil production, transportation and processing. Wax or solid paraffin series are examples of heavy organics that deposit. Precipitation and crystallization of wax causes major difficulties in different processes. Based on multi-solid theory, a basic model is modified in this paper for wax precipitation in different oils...
