Analysis Fraction Flow of Water versus Cumulative Oil Recoveries Using Buckley Leverett Method
نویسنده
چکیده
To derive the fractional flow equation oil displacement will be assumed to take place under the so-called diffusive flow condition. The constraints are that fluid saturations at any point in the linear displacement path are uniformly distributed with respect to thickness; this allows the displacement to be described mathematically in one dimension. The simultaneous flow of oil and water can be modeled using thickness averaged relative permeability, along the centerline of the reservoir. The condition for fluid potential equilibrium is simply that of hydrostatic equilibrium for which the saturation distribution can be determined as a function of capillary pressure and therefore, height. That is the fluids are distributed in accordance with capillary-gravity equilibrium. This paper focused on the fraction flow of water versus cumulative oil recoveries using Buckley Leverett method. Several field cases have been developed to aid in analysis. Producing watercut (at surface conditions) will be compared with the cumulative oil recovery at breakthrough for the flowing fluid. Keywords—Fractional Flow, Fluid Saturations, Permeability, Cumulative Oil Recoveries, Buckley Leverett Method.

Investigating the Effect of Heterogeneity on Buckley-Leverett Flow Model
The performance of water flooding can be investigated by using either detail numerical modeling or simulation, or simply through the analytical Buckley-Leverett (BL) model. The Buckley-Leverett analytical technique can be applied to one-dimensional homogeneous systems. In this paper, the impact of heterogeneity on water flooding performance and fractional flow curve is investigated. First, a ba...

The immiscible displacement of oil by water through a porous and permeable reservoir rock can be described by the use of a fractional flow curves (fw versus Sw). Water flooding project parameters can be obtained from the fractional flow curve. However, developing a representative fractional flow curve for a specific reservoir can be quite challenging when fluid and special core analysis data is...

The Buckley–Leverett (nonlinear advection) equation is often used to describe twophase flow in porous media. We develop a new probabilistic method to quantify parametric uncertainty in the Buckley–Leverett model. Our approach is based on the concept of a fine-grained cumulative density function (CDF) and provides a full statistical description of the system states. Hence, it enables one to obta...

We present a stochastic analysis of immiscible two-phase flow ~Buckley–Leverett displacement! in heterogeneous reservoirs. Since the detailed spatial variabilities of reservoir properties such as permeability and porosity cannot be described deterministically, both permeability and porosity, or either, are treated as random space functions. In turn, water saturation and oil production rate are ...
