Characterization of Reservoir Heterogeneity by Capacitance-resistance Model in Water-flooding Projects
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Tedious calculations and simulations are needed to obtain an efficient production scenario and/orproper field development strategy. Capacitance-resistance model (CRM) is proved to be a fastreservoir simulation tool using just the field-available data of production and injection rates. Thisapproach sets a time-constant and a weighting factor (or well-pair connectivity parameter) betweeneach pair of injection and production wells according to their histories. In this study, we investigatedthe behavior of the CRM parameters in synthetic reservoir models with different porosity andpermeability maps. Four reservoirs are considered with different porosities and permeabilities to studytheir effects on CRM response. We defined a new parameter, named error to mean production ratio(EMPR), to analyze the CRM performance. Some fluctuations are exerted on the production data toevaluate the capability of CRM against variable production records. Porosity showed a stronger effecton CRM parameters than the permeability based on the calculated EMPR. Unstable productionhistory would result in large error which can be corrected with some smoothing techniques onvariable production data. Also, a linear trend of EMPR was obtained with the change of porosity andpermeability or a combination of the two parameters within the reservoir.

Sensitivity Analysis of Water Flooding Optimization by Dynamic Optimization
This study concerns the scope to improve water flooding in heterogeneous reservoirs. We used an existing, in-house developed, optimization program consisting of a reservoir simulator in combination with an adjoint-based optimal control algorithm. In particular we aimed to examine the scope for optimization in a two-dimensional horizontal reservoir containing a single high permeable streak, ...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Foam Flooding in Low Permeability Sandstones: Effects of Rock Permeability and Microscopic Heterogeneity
Foam flooding (or injection of foam) is a common technology to enhance oil recovery. Although the effects of permeability on foam flooding were well studied in many laboratory experiments, little research has been focused on the specificity of low permeability. In this paper, a series of constant-quality nitrogen foam flow experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of permeability on...
