This technique can thus be used as part of the value quantification process for both the evaluation of completion options...

... Abstract The gravity drainage and oil reinfiltration phenomena that occur in the gas cap zone of naturally fractured reservoirs are studied through single porosity refined grid simulations. A stack of initially oil-saturated matrix blocks in presence of connate water surrounded by gas-saturated...

... of about 60%. The dynamic model showed a reaccommodation of fluids due to its 5 years of closure, and certified the current presence of oil in the attic where the well was previously visualized. The prediction made by the simulator for a 5 years scenario, with a production of 650 STBD, highlighted...

... Abstract Reservoir simulation is widely used to solve research problems as well as actual field problems. This is due to the limitation of analytical solutions to deal with the heterogeneity of the reservoirs and non-linearity of the diffusivity equations (i.e., for gases, properties changing...

... Abstract The use of catalysts in crude heavy oils can improve substantially their viscosity, API and reduce the content of porphyrins, sulfur, and asphaltenes [ 1 ]. In this work a simulation study of the heavy crude oil production in networks (localized in the Golf of Mexico) was done...

... more economic than miscible ones. An approximate quasi-steady state reservoir simulator was developed and used to identify this superior mode of gas and water injection. Transient simulation could not be used for this purpose because of the numerical dispersion (truncation error) inherent...
