evaluation of the effect of fluid properties effect on water coning in hydrocarbon reservoirs

in this paper, the effect of hydrocarbon fluid properties on water coning in fractured reservoirs, using a black oil numerical simulator has been studied. effect of each parameter has been investigated both separately and also with the construction of different models. using separate constructed models.primarily the hydrocarbon fluid density, viscosity and also water density as effective parameters were identified. the dual porosity technique was chosen for simulating the matrix and fracture in carbonate system.mesh system as the radial model was used to simulate proper fluid flow around the production wells.the simulation results reveal that the fluid density and viscosity have remarkable effects on water coning in fractured reservoirs.regarding two mentioned parameters, a solution for eliminating water coning is offered at the end.
