Development and Implementation of a Multidimensional Reservoir Souring Module in a Chemical Flooding Simulator

摘要

Reservoir souring is an after-production phenomenon in reservoirs that are subjected to seawater injection. Souring can damage the reservoir rocks, pro-duction facilities, and the environment. In order to predict the onset of reservoir souring, several models have been developed. Study of the published models for the reservoir souring prediction shows that there are many inconsistencies between the simulated results and field data. These differences are due to the capability of the models to consider the effective parameters in the porous media. In this study, we introduce a new model that has more features than previous models in simulation of generation and transportation of H_2S in reservoir for the purpose of field applications.
