Reservoir Simulation

**Shakespear** · 03-27-2009, 08:29 PM

Do look around here for the link to the Heriot-Watt lecture notes on simulation. IMO (in my opinion) it is a very good basic introduction and if you do their exercises you will learn something useful !!!!

When running ECLIPSE you will need to learn to find mistakes, problems etc. and one place to do this is in the PRT file. Better to learn this on simple problems than on a large complicated model.

THANX A LOT!
your advice will definitely help...
Thank you once again Shakespear!

To learn ECLIPSE at your level I would download the Heritt-Wat course on Reservoir Simulation ( pdf file). For a start this is Excellent place to begin.

When you get the file read this section "Reservoir Simulation Model Set-Up 3". Try to do what they tell you to do and run the complete DATA file using ECLIPSE (EC). When you do this I will try to help you to understand how to deal with what comes out as you will most likely make mistakes and EC will not run the first time. Making mistakes is part of the learning process and it is better to do it on this type of problems first.

EC has its own syntax (words) for expressing to it what you want EC to model. The file that EC runs ( called DATA file ) has a number of sections.

Data file is divided into certain key sections that define the model to be run:

• Model dimensions
• Grid and rock properties
• Fluid properties
• Initial conditions
• Output requirements
• Production schedule

Here is shown the KEYWORDS (syntax) to express when a given section of data begins.

-- TUT1A. DATA
-- Keywords used to identify the start of specific
-- data to describe the simulation model.

If you run the HWatt example then we can talk so more on what to do next.

The following is a nice basic outline of reservoir simulation

I found all this on the following website which appears to search for freely available pdf files !!!! FREE means why not look

Dear Shakespear,

Can you share the lecture notes and exercises of Heriot Watt about reservoir simulation?
I can not see any link here.

Thanks and Best regards,

Khainguyen

pls somebody tell me how you access a 3D view in eclipse/office without you been referred to Floviz

You can use Petrel

This thread has really been helpful to me, since am interested in knowing everything that has to with reservoir simulation and hopeful someday use my knowledge to solve exquisite problems relating to the oil and gas industry.. Am already on it.

i am unable to download the file. Message s coming like"THE DAILY TRAFFIC LIMIT FOR YOUR COUNTRY IS CONSUMED. IT'S TIME TO BUY A PREMIUM ACCOUNT". Please save other location.

Try using a website that acts as a proxy. This way perhaps you will get there as thought it is not from your country.

The file is there. :-)

Dear Shakespear,

again i am unable to download the file. samemMessage is coming like"THE DAILY TRAFFIC LIMIT FOR YOUR COUNTRY IS CONSUMED. IT'S TIME TO BUY A PREMIUM ACCOUNT". Please save other location like 4share.com etc. I need this file to learn Eclipse.
