A Simulator for the Two Dimensional Flow of a Slightly Compressible Fluid in a Homogeneous, Isotropic Reservoir of Variable Thickness
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Two dimensional flow equations for a slightly compressible fluid offer considerable promise for studying various aspects of reservoir fluid flow . Many types of phenomena can be simulated with this model. A rectangular grid was imposed on the reservoir. This kind of subdivision is generally adequate for representing most of a reservoir. However, difficulties arise in the neighborhood of a well. In order to better represent the presence of a well, in a reservoir, a modified two-dimensional radial flow treatment by Mrosovsky [7] was used. The model can be used to study single well problems, and can simulate pressure build-up, drawdown behavior and interference testing. The program can compute stream lines in a homogeneous, isotropic reservoir of any shape and with variable thickness. Any number of wells producing at variable flow rates at any location in the reservoir can be simulated.
