A-THREE DIMENSIONAL NUMERICAL SIMULATOR FOR EXPANSION-DRIVE RESERVOIRS
Abstract:
Expansion-drive reservoirs are a type of unconventional hydrocarbon reservoir characterized by low permeability and significant rock deformation. In order to optimize reservoir performance and production, accurate reservoir simulation tools are essential. This abstract presents a three-dimensional numerical simulator specifically designed for expansion-drive reservoirs.
The numerical simulator utilizes advanced computational algorithms and modeling techniques to capture the complex physical processes involved in expansion-drive reservoirs. It incorporates the key factors that influence reservoir behavior, including rock deformation, fluid flow, and phase behavior. By accurately representing these phenomena, the simulator provides insights into reservoir performance and enables reservoir engineers to make informed decisions regarding production strategies.
The simulator employs a fully implicit finite-difference method to discretize the governing equations of fluid flow and rock deformation. It accounts for the coupling between fluid flow and rock mechanics, considering the effects of poroelasticity and stress-dependent permeability. Additionally, the simulator incorporates multiphase flow models to accurately capture the behavior of hydrocarbon fluids and their interactions with the rock matrix.
To validate the simulator, extensive comparisons with field data and experimental results are conducted. The simulator demonstrates good agreement with observed reservoir behavior, providing confidence in its accuracy and reliability. Sensitivity analyses are also performed to assess the impact of various reservoir parameters on production performance, aiding in the optimization of production strategies.
The three-dimensional numerical simulator for expansion-drive reservoirs presented in this abstract represents a significant advancement in reservoir simulation technology. Its ability to capture the complex phenomena associated with expansion-drive reservoirs enables improved reservoir management and production optimization. By providing a reliable tool for reservoir engineers, it contributes to the sustainable development of hydrocarbon resources in expansion-drive reservoirs and facilitates effective decision-making in reservoir operations.
