... The area of parallel reservoir simulation has been extensively investigated with earliest attempts dating back to the late 1980s ( Ref.1 has good coverage of work done). Fundamentally, the objective behind parallelization effort is to drive simulation run time to absolute minimal. The needs...

... steam injection. The evaluation of the potential of such method requires the coupling of a reservoir simulator with an electromagnetic (EM) simulator. This paper describes the development and implementation of a flexible interface in a reservoir simulator that allows the runtime loading of third party...

... Abstract This paper illustrates a detailed workflow to build a compositional simulation model for a large gas-bearing with a sizable oil-rim carbonate reservoir in the Middle East. The workflow is emphasising on the importance of data gathering, validation, analysis and integration in building...

..., thus enabling a much more accurate representation of natural reservoir connectivity. In the past few years, CompStrat has been studied mainly within the earth science community and has yet been broadly applied in reservoir simulation research and practices. Our objective is to bridge this gap...

... a single reservoir development technology in all the areas of the field. In this project, we evaluated cyclic steam stimulation strategies focusing on applying different well completions. We have applied a compositional numerical simulation model using CMG Stars to investigate the application of different...

... problems. It is fundamentally different from forward problems that deal with the prediction of reservoir and well performance for a given reservoir model. The reservoir simulation approach is often used to solve inverse problems in that an engineer develops and calibrates a reservoir model to reproduce...

... Abstract Naturally fractured reservoirs are more difficult, complex and expensive to evaluate using numerical simulation when compared to conventional reservoirs. There are well known approaches, dual porosity and dual permeability system in which two grids - one for the fractures and another...

..., diffusion and Darcy's law. In this paper, the effects of CO 2 sequestration on shale reservoirs will be discussed from a technical and economical viewpoint. A reservoir simulation was used to evaluate the quantity of CO 2 that can be stored in shale, the effects of CO 2 mitigation when injected...

...) based reservoir simulations and 4) Poro-elastic impacts on stress modeling. The change of each portion will impact the whole, therefore a workflow with fewer tools and iterations greatly benefits the efficiency of the methodology. A single tool including fracture modeling and dual-porosity simulation...

... Executive Summary Conductive tectonic faults introduce significant uncertainty in reservoir simulation models during the history-matching stage, and, as a result, affect the forecast of development performance. Modeling such fields is complicated by the presence of gas migration from the gas...

... Reservoir simulation of the Elk city gas field involves digitizing the structural map, isopach map, isoporosity map, isopermeability maps (X and Y directions) and generate an appropriate 3-dimensional grid system for use in setting up reservoir model. These first two steps were accomplished using...

... Abstract Large scale reservoir simulation is essential to understand various flow processes inside the reservoir. With the advent of high performance computing (HPC), it is now possible to simulate models larger than even one billion cells. Because of its cost effectiveness, Linux clusters...

...) technique for CSG reservoir stimulation using reservoir simulation models. A simplified model for steady-state incompressible fluid flow during the early dewatering stage of production is validated by the analytical model results. A general model is then developed for GPI process during unsteady-state...

Based on minifrac data and microseismic fracture mapping results, a natural/hydraulic fracture network was generated and input into an unstructured-grid-based discrete fracture reservoir simulation model. Its accuracy...

This paper proposes a practical approach that combines reservoir simulations and data analytics to quantify the effectiveness of brown-field pilot projects. In our approach, an ensemble of simulations are first performed on models...
