... the maximum oil recovery can be obtained from the GOSP. To achieve the objective of this study, first, a GOSP model was built using Petro-SIM process simulator software for a typical Saudi Aramco GOSP. The input data for the process simulator were the data from the initial pressure/volume/temperature (PVT...

..., or alcohols can be deliberately injected for such a purpose. When trying to predict hydrate conditions in real-world production systems, computer simulation should ideally integrate hydrate and multiphase-flow calculations. Failing to do so [by performing a decoupled analysis with a flow simulator...

... simulators have been developed and the full‐scale version of the concept has been studied in test wells to demonstrate the feasibility and performance of the new water‐unloading concept. An industrial‐grade preproduction prototype was tested successfully in a test gas well to validate this study...

...Vibhas J. Pandey; Thomas Flottman; Nola R. Zwarich Summary Modern hydraulic-fracture treatments are designed by use of fracture simulators that require formation-related inputs, such as in-situ stresses and rock mechanical properties, to optimize stimulation designs for targeted reservoir zones...

A commercial numerical simulator was used for this purpose. Gel-modeling capabilities are based primarily on a defined chemical reaction, and subsequently...

... is no longer possible. Water quality and injection pressure are thus linked to each other. They are deduced by simulation on a case-by-case basis. The modeling approach used by Total was presented in previous publications (Detienne et al. 1998 , 2005 ; Ochi et al. 2007 ). The objective of this paper...

... of handling any multicomponent mixture of fluids and chemicals. Changes in phase behavior with temperature, pressure, and composition can be modeled. A new simulator has been developed based on the compositional model presented in this paper. The simulator is validated for traditional fluid formulations...

...Christopher A. Green; Robert D. Barree; Jennifer L. Miskimins Summary This paper assesses critically the importance of various inputs that are used for a common method to develop a simulator model of hydraulic fractures (HFs) in geologically complex, fluvial, tight gas reservoirs. A planar 3D...

.... Two-phase-flow examples are usually limited to the impact on long-term production. This paper uses a new two-phase-flow simulator to demonstrate the impact of fracture-face-matrix damage on both fracture-treatment cleanup and fracture-face-skin evolution during cleanup and subsequent production...

Simulation results show that the problems in the conventional wells were not as severe as those interpreted from the measurements of distributed temperature sensing systems (DTSs). It is also demonstrated that the compartmentalized completion...

The cleanout fluid is circulated through uphole-facing, low-energy nozzles, which creates a particle re-entrainment action to enhance agitation of the solids and then entrain the particulates in suspension...

The fracture height calculated based on uniform modulus vs. layered modulus, under the same in situ stress contrast conditions, is compared...

An important consequence of this variation in the etched pattern is a substantially different prediction of the fracture...
