... Abstract Simulation of gas condensate reservoir is described for water injection and gas injection, with the objective of improving hydrocarbon recovery. A compositional simulator was used for the studies conducted. The methods investigated were Continuos and Simultaneous Gas Cycling...

... or even a Hele-Shaw cell [1]. Also, fingering can be onset when a low viscosity Newtonian fluid, injected from a source, penetrates a Hele-Shaw cell (or a porous medium) filled with a miscible (or immiscible) non-Newtonian fluid. cavity miscible displacement simulation rayleigh number...

.... History matching of the field injection data using a fully coupled reservoir-geomechanical simulator demonstrates that the permeability and compressibility of oil sands are interrelated and effective stress dependent. Introduction The basic principle of pressure transient testing techniques, which...

Numerical simulations were based on comparison with published laboratory experiments. A sensitivity study was carried out to examine...

... evaluating techniques have been integrated and a software platform has been developed to evaluate a hydraulic fracture using recorded information during injecting and the tested data after a treatment. These techniques include treatment simulation, pressure decline analysis, transient well test...

... the area in detail one last time. The final result of the exhaustive work, which included core floods, geological review, a 3D simulation, facilities and production optimization review and a reservoir depletion plan, was a large scale waterflood on a depleted field. It is expected that the recovery factor...

... Abstract The Basal Quartz sandstone in the Duchess field of southern Alberta exhibits notable reservoir heterogeneity at various scales due to complex litho-stratigraphy and overprinting by early digenetic soil-related processes. Proper reservoir delineation, reserves assessment and simulation...

... installation. In addition, numerical modeling of the wellbore can assist in evaluating field performance, this is particularly applicable to situations where temperature data along the length of the well is unavailable. Careful application of numerical wellbore simulation can also lead to insights...

... Abstract A steam injection reservoir simulator was developed with the objective of improving the resolution of the information concerning the flow around a well and between wells. To accomplish this objective, it was necessary to develop the contiguous hyperhybrid grid refinement method...

... Abstract Recent developments in geosciences and engineering software, and 3-Dvisualization in particular, ease construction and utilization of detailedgeologic descriptions in reservoir simulation. This ease enhances theinteraction among team members such as geophysicists, geologists...

... and controlled by dolomization and fracturing. There is a down dip water leg and early testing indicated the presence of an up dip gas cap. The production performance of the field was difficult to evaluate, in particular, water production. Numerical modeling (simulation) has given significant insights...

In this study, we modeled well tests in this field with a fully compositional reservoir simulator. We...

... Abstract Conditional simulated annealing, sequential Gaussian simulation and kriging were used to simulate the three-dimensional (3-D) porosity distribution for a heterogeneous anisotropic core from the Fenn-Big Valley Field in Alberta, Canada. The 3-D porosity distribution was known from...

Abstract The implementation is given for an efficient streamline method that is regularly employed where minimal modeling effort is desired or where the problem is not practical for traditional finite-difference simulation. Two streamline methods are described with full details given for one...

It is recommended that (contiguous) hyperhybrid grid refinement be used for analyzing problems where the local well region behaviour is important in the context of a field simulation. INTRODUCTION...
