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 …

Abstract In recent years, the oil and gas industry has increasingly leveraged high-performance computing (HPC) to tackle complex reservoir simulations. These simulations are crucial for understanding subsurface conditions, optimizing hydrocarbon recovery, and ensuring efficient resource management. Among the various simulation techniques, compositional modeling stands out due to its ability to capture detailed fluid behavior and …

Abstract This paper introduces a comprehensive strategy for the evaluation and optimization of oil and gas reservoirs, particularly those with limited or no geological data. The methodology focuses on the integration of both surface and subsurface data, aiming to develop more accurate and efficient exploitation strategies even in environments characterized by high levels of uncertainty. …

Abstract This paper will discuss some case studies on how to unlock the tight gas reservoirs potential in onshore field of Abu Dhabi through different drilling/completion strategies. Various technologies are tested i.e., Underbalanced Coiled Tubing Drilling (UBCTD), Smart Liner (LEL), Hydraulic Fracking (HF) and Fishbones (FB). The well performances after technology application are then evaluated …
