Abstract This paper deals with the issues related to the modeling of non-equilibrium phase transition in isothermal compositional models. Based on a real case of oil and gas field in the Middle East, the importance to take into account the effects of thermodynamic non-equilibrium are demonstrated with the help of mathematical models proposed earlier. Theoretical …

Abstract The method for modeling of a multilateral well design that is completely independent on the simulation grid and fluid properties is proposed. The method takes into account friction in the lateral branches and crossflow between them. Well parameters, such as trajectory, perforation intervals, roughness and diameter, are directly used to calculate pressure distribution along …

Abstract Reservoir simulation optimization under uncertainty typically invokes a sense of anxiety mainly because of a lack of a systematic criterion to choose between different development scenarios under uncertainty, how to go about doing well placement and optimizing well controls in the face of a large uncertainty ensemble of static realisations, and most of all …

Abstract The application of intelligent algorithms that use clever simplifications and methods to solve computationallycomplex problems are rapidly displacing traditional methods in the petroleum industry. The latest forward-thinking approaches inhistory matching and uncertainty quantification were applied on a dynamic model that has unknown permeability model. The original perm-poro profile was constructed based on synthetic data …

Abstract Development of oil rim reservoirs is challenging and could lead to low oil recovery, if multiple determining factors are not well understood, that influences successful field development concept. It requires detailed analysis and development of specific procedures to optimize the oil production from a thin oil rim underlaying gas cap. Few IOR/EOR applications for …
