Black Oil PVT Properties of Volve Oilfield Fluid
PVT analysis of the Volve Oil field consists for four reports covering three wells. These reports cover Constant Mass Expansion, Differential Liberation, Separator tests and Compositions analysis. However, it is seen that none of the reports are complete in themselves
Reservoir Simulation Model – Data File description
The Volve field simulation directory has simulator input files that are used to initiate reservoir simulation. The Data file is made up of eight section that describe the reservoir and fluid characteristics. ...
Production performance of the Volve Oilfield
The Volve oilfield is located in the 15/9 Block that was awarded to Equinor in 1976. The Oilfield was developed with 24 wells. The production strategy of this field is explained in
Setup VirtualBox, OPM-Flow Simulator and ResInsight to run the Volve Oilfield Model
OPM-Flow is an open source fully implicit, black oil reservoir simulator developed under the Open Porous Media Initiative. The simulator is based on a Linux workspace and requires the installation of a virtual-box in windows based machines. We’ll be using this simulator for our simulation and visualization of the Volve oilfield model.
The Initial Production Strategy
The Volve Oilfield was planned to have a life of about 7 years before attaining an economic limit of 2100 m3/d (13,209 STB/d) oil based on a benchmark oil price of $18.7/barrel. Three production wells, three water injection wells, and production facilities from the Sleipner field were to be used to drain 11.4 Million (71.706 MMSTB) of oil reserves. ...
Drill Stem Test Interpretation – The Math
The plots and equations that quantify the Drill stem well test interpretation for the discovery well 15-9/19-SR are presented here.
The Horner plot for the main build up period
The Horner plot meant to study for the main build up period. The time function is also called Horner time is: ...
Drill stem test
Before we get into the pressure transient analysis, let us understand some basics of drill stem testing.
Drill stem testing is an oil and gas exploration procedure to isolate, stimulate and flow a downhole formation to determine the fluids present and the rate at which they can be produced. ...
