Abstract This case study describes the workflow implemented to model and assess the CO2 site storage integrity, using coupled thermal dynamic-geomechanics modeling of supercritical CO2 in the study field and its impact on the reservoir, caprock, fault deformation, and eventual failure. The One-way coupled fluid-flow geomechanics simulation examines the impact of reservoir re-pressurization and thermal cooling in …

We are honoured to share that Rock Flow Dynamics has been actively involved in a cutting-edge interwell CO2 injection field trial at Pertamina’s field in East Java. As part of this important initiative, we’ve had the privilege of providing technical expertise and support through our advanced reservoir simulation software, tNavigator, which has played a critical …

On November 1, 2024, we had the honour of providing Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Indonesia with academic tNavigator license donations. This contribution is intended to support ITB’s faculty and students in advancing their research and academic pursuits within the field of petroleum engineering. With tNavigator, a leading reservoir simulation software, ITB will gain valuable tools …

Abstract In a numerical simulator, the inflow from the reservoir grid into a producer well is governed by well connections. The transmissibility of each well connection is calculated using a connection transmissibility equation. On Cartesian grids, the pressure equivalent radius ro is calculated using Paceman’s formula. To ensure the denominator of the transmissibility equation remains positive, it …

Abstract This paper delves into an examination of reservoir management and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) strategies for optimising oil recovery in highly heterogenous confined channel reservoirs characterized by high watercut evolution. It includes the identification of reservoir performance challenges and their root causes while evaluating dynamic reservoir simulation options for selected EOR techniques. The Enyenra …
