Full-field modeling using streamline-based simulation: four case studies

摘要

Modern streamline-based reservoir simulators are able to account for actual field conditions such as 3D multiphase flow effects, reservoir heterogeneity, gravity, and changing well conditions. A streamline simulator was used to model four field cases, with approximately 400 wells and 150,000 gridblocks. History-match run times ere approximately 1 CPU hour per run, with the final history matches completed in approximately 1 month per field. In all field cases, a high percentage of wells were history matched within the first two to three runs.
