Question to simulation engineers!

[dquento]

Hi all,
What important simulation aspects are to be considered when modeling an oil-gas system with gas lift wells, especially as the model will be used for prediction. It is my first time to handle such a case and wish to solicit the help of those with some experience with such field cases. Thanks for helping.

dear all

i have to forecast new field, and no well before, what should i do to make a reservoir model, what constraint i have to use. because the forecast could be so high or even low rate.

thanks
acang

Dear all
For constrain or Predication economical limit put
1-Limit BHFP
2-Maximum Water Cut
3-Minimum Oil Production Rate
4-Prediction time

[acang024]

my field is new, i can't predict what the dominant drive mechanism on my reservoir. Could i make a aquifer in my model? because it can maintenance reservoir pressure, so i can get high cumulative production. but, of course that way could gets wrong forecast. So, my question is, what should i do if i want to make a forecast in a new field.

Hello,

I would like to know if there is facility to define multi-stage compressor in Eclipse extended network model.
For now we used to describe all compressor units in one VFPPROD table in conjunction with NETCOMPA keyword.
The following keywords used to define interaction with compressors in my model:

VFPPROD
WCONPROD
NETCOMPA
NWATREM
WTEST
WEFAC
WORKTHP
WORKLIM
PRORDER
WELDRAW
WELOPEN
WECON
NETBALAN
GCONPROD

If you need more information, I will excerpt keyword data from Eclipse input file. I omit these info in sake of clarity.

I define dtwo delivery points in the network named UKPG and UPPG. First I put all wells in THP control mode
and then define monthly production rates for this points. Also we have two compressor units just before delivery points.
There compressors defined in two VFPPROD tables.

In real world there is two stage compression for flow before it get to gas-main pipeline. The delivery scheme schematically presented in the following drawing:

Can I define these compression rig in network model? It would be interesting to see how cumulative power changes in
different time steps, how compression units switched on or off, what mode of operation will be necessary to get
fixed pressure in final node. It will be wonderful if Eclipse could balance compression ration between stages so
that power spent on each stage will be equal.

hi all,

i am a postgraduate student and I ll use eclipse from my thesis. I am trying to understand the basics. So I copied data file from petrofaq website

[link Point to another website Only the registered members can access]
Advanced -> Enable -> Edit Command Line

it says no data selected. What am i doing wrong?

The way I am trying to import the data is

Simulation launcher -> Simulators -> Eclipse -> Summary -> Select -> Add dataset

EDIT -> Problem FiXED

[jahsan99]

HI , Can any one suggest development strategy for maximum recovery and wells model in petrel and simulator is eclispe100 - I dont know how and which parameters to fill in the prediction/depletion and water injection prediction rules. Here is the link to the model i am working, I have basic idea of how petrel works since I am very new to petrel and eclipse (gives me convergence problem), any help will be appreciated.
Here is the link to the model:
