Book Simulations Across Diverse Scales in Petroleum Systems : From Rock Pores to Reservoirs in DJV, TXT, EPUB
9780128053348 English 0128053348 Researchers and engineers working in the oil and gas industries today are looking for more confidence in their numerical simulations that can reliably forecast the life span of the oil & gas entrapped in formations, estimate the cost of production and predict the associated risks involved in safely extracting the oil and gas. Simulations Across Diverse Scales in Petroleum Systems: From Pores to Reservoirs addresses these limitations and provides solutions for the next generation multiscale simulation tools to encourage engineers to progress towards system-level multiscale approaches in solving oil and gas formation flows. Currently, numerical approaches involve a lot of assumptions and have a large margin of error, and it is not possible to capture all the scales of geometry and physics in one single simulation. This publication explains the progression of how to capture each scale of geometry and physics in numerical simulations. Classifying oil and gas flow through porous formation into three scales including: Pore scale to capture microscopic effect when fluid is flowing through the gaps in rocks and fractures Near wellbore scale to capture intermediate range where multiphase flow through the porous zone is used to calculate viscous and inertial effects Reservoir scale simulations to model miles long domain using Darcy type models Adding content on uncertainty quantification, coupling and multiscale information to help explain how to further integrate between the scales, and an outlook towards the next-generation petroleum systems simulator, Simulations Across Diverse Scales in Petroleum Systems: From Pores to Reservoirs helps oil and gas engineers understand all the tools available to model today's oil and gas applications. Understand equations, tools, and progression of each scale simulation from small pores to large reservoirs Decrease model uncertainty with data, parameters, and boundary conditions explained Create robust and efficient numerical simulation methods involving integration on different scales of modelling, Simulations Across Diverse Scales in Petroleum Systems: From Rock Pores to Reservoirs discusses the known limitations and potential solutions for the next generation multiscale simulation tools needed for engineers to make progress toward system-level multiscale approaches in solving oil and gas formation flows.
