This book was released on 2016 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both relative permeability and capillary pressure depend on composition as well as saturation, but classical models neglect this dependence. The objective of this research was to develop coupled three-phase relative permeability and capillary pressure models for implementation in a four-phase flow compositional equation-of-state simulator. The models applied to several complex but practical reservoir simulation problems. Models independent of phase label have many advantages in terms of both numerical stability and physical consistency. Identification of hydrocarbon and aqueous phases based on their molar Gibbs Free Energy (GFE) is a key feature of the new model. Instead of using labels (gas/oil/2nd liquid/aqueous) to define permeability parameters such as end points, residual saturation and exponents, the parameters are continuously interpolated between reference values using the Gibbs free energy of each phase at each time step. Consequently, the formulation used to implement other relevant physical parameters must be consistent with the new approach. A comprehensive but simple vii algorithm was developed for this purpose. The algorithm allows for very general threephase hysteresis in both relative permeability and capillary pressure. An important part of this thesis is analyzing the results of a recent series of experiments on the effect composition on relative permeability. These new data were used to calibrate the new GFE relative permeability model and apply it in a compositional reservoir simulator. The robustness of the new GFE model was shown through complex simulations such as solvent flooding, miscible/immiscible WAG processes, well stimulation processes using solvents to remove condensate and/or water blocks in both conventional and unconventional formations and other challenging applications involving both mass transfer between phases and phase changes. The interpolation of relative permeability parameters based on GFE instead of phase labels completely solves the discontinuity problem caused by phase flipping or misidentification. Therefore, simulations run significantly faster and are physically correct. The novelty of this research is in integrating and unifying relevant physical parameters including trapping number, hysteresis and capillary pressure into one rigorous algorithm with compositional consistency and in the development and application of a practical procedure for numerical compositional reservoir simulations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CLIFFORD K. HOAND STEPHEN W. WEBB Sandia National Laboratories, P. O. Box 5800, Albuquerque, NM 87185, USA Gas and vapor transport in porous media occur in a number of important applications includingdryingofindustrialandfoodproducts,oilandgasexploration,environm- tal remediation of contaminated sites, and carbon sequestration. Understanding the fundamental mechanisms and processes of gas and vapor transport in porous media allows models to be used to evaluate and optimize the performance and design of these systems. In this book, gas and vapor are distinguished by their available states at stan- ? dard temperature and pressure (20 C, 101 kPa). If the gas-phase constituent can also exist as a liquid phase at standard temperature and pressure (e. g. , water, ethanol, toluene, trichlorothylene), it is considered a vapor. If the gas-phase constituent is non-condensable at standard temperature and pressure (e. g. , oxygen, carbon di- ide, helium, hydrogen, propane), it is considered a gas. The distinction is important because different processes affect the transport and behavior of gases and vapors in porous media. For example, mechanisms specific to vapors include vapor-pressure lowering and enhanced vapor diffusion, which are caused by the presence of a g- phase constituent interacting with its liquid phase in an unsaturated porous media. In addition, the “heat-pipe” exploits isothermal latent heat exchange during evaporation and condensation to effectively transfer heat in designed and natural systems.

Download or read book Advanced Petroleum Reservoir Simulation written by M. R. Islam and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of the original volume adds significant new innovations for revolutionizing the processes and methods used in petroleum reservoir simulations. With the advent of shale drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and underbalanced drilling has come a virtual renaissance of scientific methodologies in the oil and gas industry. New ways of thinking are being pioneered, and Dr. Islam and his team have, for years now, been at the forefront of these important changes. This book clarifies the underlying mathematics and physics behind reservoir simulation and makes it easy to have a range of simulation results along with their respective probability. This makes the risk analysis based on knowledge rather than guess work. The book offers by far the strongest tool for engineers and managers to back up reservoir simulation predictions with real science. The book adds transparency and ease to the process of reservoir simulation in way never witnessed before. Finally, No other book provides readers complete access to the 3D, 3-phase reservoir simulation software that is available with this text. A must-have for any reservoir engineer or petroleum engineer working upstream, whether in exploration, drilling, or production, this text is also a valuable textbook for advanced students and graduate students in petroleum or chemical engineering departments.
