A New Four Components Compositional Simulator
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This report describes a four components model for simulating. miscible and simple compositional type problems. The model uses an Impes algorythm and an equation of state for describing the fluid properties. The flash calculations make profit of the fact that three hydrocarbon components only are in thermodynamical equilibrium and permits low execution times.The gas phase is allowed to dissolve in the water phase through a pressure dependent solubility ratio.Rock and water are assumed to have a constant compressibility. the water phase viscosity is described as a pressure function and is inputed in the data file.The only data necessary to describe the hydrocarbon components are the critical properties, acentric factor and molar masses. The derivation of the flow equations and the composition equation used is presented for this case and the solution is detailed. A multiblock completion model is used t o represent four general types of wells. The initialisation routine presented features either non-equilibrium or vertical equilibrium.
