ONE-DIMENSIONAL,

ONE-PHASE RESERVOIR
SIMULATION
Fluid systems
 In one phase reservoir simulation we would deal
with one of the following fluid systems:
 One phase gas, fluid behavior is governed by our Black
Oil fluid model, so that

 One phase water, a density described by

 One phase oil, in the Black Oil fluid model, oil density
is described by:
PDE form of single phase flow
 The continuity equation for a one phase, one-
dimensional system of constant cross-sectional
area to be:

 for one dimensional, horizontal flow is:

 Using the fluid model defined above:


PDE form of single phase flow
 the PDE that describes single phase flow in a one dimensional
porous medium:

fluid flow in the reservoir,


injection/production

storage (compressibilities of rock and fluid).

 In order to bring the right hand side of the equation on a form


with pressure as a primary variable, we will rearrange the term
before proceeding to the numerical solution.
 Chain rule differentiation yields:

 use of the compressibility definition for


porosity's dependency of pressure

 and the fluid model above:


 The right hand side may then be written:

 the flow equation becomes:

 fluid compressibility may be defined in terms of


the formation volume factor as:
 an alternative form of the flow equation is:
Difference form of the flow equation
 Left side term

 is of the form:

 which we previously derived the following


approximation for:
 in terms of the actual flow equation above:

 transmissibility as being the coefficient in front of


the pressure difference appearing in the
approximation above:
 Transmissibility in plus direction

 Transmissibility in minus direction


 the difference form of the flow term in the
partial differential equation becomes:

 the transmissibility consists of three groups of


parameters:
 Average of Permeability
 Starting with Darcy's equation:

integrate the equation above between block centers:


 The left side may be integrated in parts over the
two blocks in our discrete system

 defining an average permeability


 Fluid mobility term

 Replacing the fluid parameters by mobility


 the average mobility terms are:
 Right side term

 by using the backward difference approximation

 define a storage coefficient as:

 the right side approximation becomes:


 the difference form of the single phase flow
equation is
Boundary conditions and
production/injection terms
 No flow boundaries

 Production/injection wells
Constant well production rate, Qi
 For a constant well rate of Qi at surface
conditions, which is the most common well rate
specification, the per volume rate becomes:
Constant well bottom-hole pressure
 a well producing or injecting at a constant
bottom hole pressure, Pbhi , the well rate is
computed :
