Gas Reservoir Simulation

This document summarizes the structure and components of a reservoir simulation program called Gassim. It describes the different sections that make up the input file including the single, grid, and schedule sections. The single section contains reservoir-wide properties. The grid section specifies properties for each grid block. The schedule section controls well specifications and the simulation time steps. It provides an example of the input data format and describes how the program executes the simulation using this input.

Reservoir Simulation -

Gassim
Reservoir Simulation

• From textbook “Gas Reservoir


Engineering” by Lee and Wattenbarger
• VBA program in Excel
• Intended for student usage
– Analytical, numerical,
transformation methods
• 1D or 2D
• Cartesian or radial grid
• Single phase – gas or liquid
Data organization

• Single section
• Grid section
• Schedule section

(each section ends with END)


Single section
• Each data has one value (except CNST)
• Specifies:
– Grid size
– Reservoir temperature, reference pressure
– Gas gravity, Sw, cf, cw
– Whether radial coordinates
– Whether liquid (with Bo, μo)
• Specifies certain run controls:
– Matrix methods
– Newton iterations
Example of Single Data
CMNT
CMNT Homogeneous Cylindrical Reservoir
CMNT Radial Flow, Constant-rate production, Infinite-acting
CMNT Slightly Compressible Fluid

Grid Section
• Specifies data for each gridblock
• Specifies grid dimensions
– 2D (DELX, DELY and H)
– radial (RR, DELY)

• Grid data:
– permeability
– porosity
– thickness
– initial pressure

Schedule Section
• Controls well specifications
– location (NAME)
– constant rate (QG)
– contant pwf (PWF)
• Controls time schedule output
– 1 means output at TIME output
– 2 means output each timestep
• Controls timesteps (DELT, ALPH, DTMX)
Schedule example
NAME 1 3 5 0
QG 1 12000
TIME 365
END
Well 1 is located at I = 3, j = 5 and produces at a
constant rate of 12,000 scf/day for 365 days
Schedule example
NAME 2 6 8 0
PWF 2 1500
TIME 730
END
Well 2 is located at I = 6, j = 8 and produces at a
constant BHP of 1500 psia for 730 days
Schedule example
NAME 1 3 5 0 Well 1 produces at a
NAME 2 6 8 0 constant rate of 12,000
scf/day for 730 days.
QG 1 12000 Well 2 produces at
constant BHP after 365
TIME 365 days until 730 days.
PWF 2 1500
TIME 730
END
Schedule Section – programming
logic
• When a TIME data line is read, the
simulator executes the timesteps
required to reach that time
then ---- it reads the data to the
next TIME data line
Timestep control
• DELT – sets the first Δt for the time
period
• ALPH – sets Δt equal to ALPH time
the previous timestep’s Δt (after the
first timestep in the period)
• DTMX – sets a maximum value for Δt
Timestep example
The timestep
sequence is
• DELT 1 1

• ALPH 1.5 1.5


2.25
• DTMX 10 3.375

• TIME 60 5.06
7.59

Timestep control
• Well conditions (QO or PWF) change
after a TIME data line, a small DELT
should be included so the new
rate/pressure conditions start with
small timesteps
DELT 1
ALPH 1.5
NAME 1 3 5 0
NAME 2 6 8 0
QG 1 12000
TIME 365
DELT 1
PWF 2 1500
TIME 730
