Exercise 1: Single Well Coning Model

SIS Training

Purpose: Edit the RUNSPEC section Use the PRT file for identifying errors Compare several radial models in ECLIPSE office Reservoir synopsis: Radial model Saturated Oil with dissolved & free gas Well cones gas after ~100 days production

GRF File
SIS Training

What is a GRF file? A text file that contains crossplot specifications

Schlumberger Private

Where do I get one? ECLIPSE Office: Set up the crossplots you want, write out a GRF for future use By editing an old GRF file
GRF File

Exercise 2: SNARK RUNSPEC Section

SIS Training

Purpose: Create a RUNSPEC section from scratch. Field SNARK: Grid Dimensions - 24 x 25 x 12 Oil field initially undersaturated (above bubble point). Aquifer support suspected (we will use a Fetkovich aquifer). Production from 1 January 1998. 5 producers. Up to 2 wells may be drilled in the future. Request unified input and output files. Use Field Units.

Exercise 3: SNARK GRID Section

SIS Training

Purpose: Specify reservoir geometry & basic rock properties. Data: Porosity and Permeability obtained from wells drilled throughout reservoir (table). Kz/Kx = 0.1 Corner point geometry created previously in Petrel - SNARK.GRDECL Request the following output: EGRID and INIT file Transmissibility and NNCs to PRT file

Ex 4: SNARK - PROPS & REGIONS Sections

SIS Training

Purpose: Supply and verify reservoir fluid PVT properties Supply and verify relative permeability & capillary pressure data Define distinct reservoir regions Relevant Data: Surface Densities (lb/ft3) Oil 42.28; Water 62.43; Gas 0.0971. Bw is 1.013 rb/stb at 3118 psia, w is 0.4 cP and Cw 2.74x10-6 (psi)-1 Cr is 2.8x10-6 (psia)-1 at Pi PVT and Saturation Tables are supplied in PROPS_Data.xls spreadsheet

Exercise 5: SNARK - Initialization

SIS Training

Purpose: Supply initial conditions & define the aquifer Data: Bubble point pressure is 1062.2 psia, GOR is 973 scf/stb. Oil-Water Contact: 8200 ft (free water level) Pressure: 3035.7 psia at 7000 ft Aquifer support: Volume 1x107 stb; PI 5 bbl/day/psi

Exercise 6: SNARK - History Match

SIS Training

Purpose: Adjust properties to match measured production Well data: All wells have an internal diameter of 0.625 feet and skin of 7.5. Well production history is in HIST.SCH file

Exercise 6: SNARK History Match (cont)

SIS Training

Process Complete SNARK dataset by supplying well definitions and production history Run sensitivities on
Fault Transmissibility Aquifer Volume and Deliverability (Productivity Index)
Schlumberger Private

Complete history match for Pressure (Optional) Use Oil Rate control and match water production

Exercise 7: SNARK Recovery Optimization

SIS Training

Purpose: Create restart run Use various group production / injection controls to optimize recovery Process: Create restart run with current production rates Compare with group production control Compare constant water injection to voidage replacement and production balancing Investigate gas reinjection
