A New Model for History Dependent Saturation Functions in Reservoir Simulation

Abstract: A new model for treating dynamie hysteresis in saturation functions for two and three phase reservoir simulation studies has been developed. It is incorporated in a three dimensional, three phase, fully implicite reservoir simulator. It has been experimentally observed that capiIIary pressure and relative permeabilities do not only depend on the saturation change itself, they depend on the direction of saturation change, too, which is called as 'hysteresis' . In simulations with changing displacement direction… Show more

“…The hysteresis loop logic of Killough 11 is often employed in reservoir simulators. Its limitations have recently been discussed by Tan, 12 by Kriebernegg and Heinemann, 13 and by Kleppe et al 14 who point out that Killough's method often is inadequate since it was formulated for the case where the drainage and imbibition curves meet at the residual oil saturation. To remedy this, it is suggested, 13,14 with some modifications, 14 to apply Land's 15 expression,…”
