... Abstract The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of different wellbore types on the effective retrieval of condensates in a gas condensate reservoir. Two reservoir models were built using CMG (Computer Modelling Group) and IMEX reservoir simulation models. These models had similar...

In this study, we use the CMG reservoir simulator to analyze the effects of gas recycling on the recovery of condensate and gas in a typical gas-condensate reservoir. The aim of our study is to assess the effectiveness of gas recycling...

... pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) modeling to cover the producing lifecycle of the reservoir and understand how much of the condensate will be produced to the surface. Resolving these additional complexities with GCRs requires proper surveillance data acquisition, PVT analysis, reservoir simulation...

Surfactant flooding has been the major process in reducing the interfacial tension between oil and water thereby facilitating the maximum recovery of the residual oil saturation. This study involved using reservoir simulation to show the relative...

.... In this paper, a mathematical model was developed by modifying the work of Oluyemi and Oyeneyin (2010) who developed a simple mechanistic model requiring few and easy-to-obtain input parameters. A simple simulator, named Cassandra, was then designed using Python Programming Language so as to aid...

.... This difficulty is however countered by the use of numerical flow performance simulators to determine the objective function. The process of discretization of the reservoir yields great computing cost, such that flow models must exit for each individual gridblock with its clearly defined attributes, hence giving...

Abstract Regime-specific numerical solutions are valuable in studying the behaviour of reservoir processes both for practical field management and for benchmarking the success of analytical solutions within the regime of interest. In this work, a three-dimensional numerical reservoir simulator...
