Previous Parts Part 1 - Overview Part 2 - Reservoir Simulation Model Objective – Evaluate the benefits of waterflooding vs. primary depletion in our cross-section simulation model. Reservoir Simulation Model Overview Here, we provide some relevant details of the simulation model that we use. Simulation model type: cross-section (X-Z) Simulation grid: 100 x 1 x 20 grid cells Grid cell dimensions: Constant DX, constant DY, DZ varies by layer and equal to height of cross-section layers Only two phases present in the simulation model - oil and water Reservoir rock and fluid properties (PERMX, PERMY, PERMZ, PORO, Swi, …) vary by layer but are otherwise constant in each layer PERMX is the layer permeability in the X-direction and PERMY = PERMX PERMZ is the layer permeability in the Z-direction and is equal to 10% of PERMX All cells are active and each cell has a net-to-gross (NTG) ratio of 1.

Previous Part(s) Part 1 - Overview Objective – Describe the simulation model and economic model that we will use for the waterflood performance evaluation of the reservoir cross section. Introduction In this post, we will briefly describe the simulation model that we will use for the waterflood performance evaluation. The reservoir simulation model described here represents a base case. We will make adjustments to this base case model (e.g., the change the Kv/Kh ratio, tilt the reservoir, etc) to illustrate the effect of different factors (e.

Introduction This post is the first in a series that focuses on evaluating waterflood performance in a reservoir cross-section. The main objective of the series of posts is educational. There will be several posts, each describing a different aspect of waterflood performance evaluation in the cross-section. We will consider different tasks including building the reservoir simulation model, performing different sensitivity and economic analyses. For all these tasks, we will be using the same base simulation model or perform adjustments to the model to illustrate relevant ideas.
