SUMMARYThis paper addresses an application of ORTHOMIN and GMRES to petroleum reservoir simulation using the black oil model on unstructured grids. Comparisons between these two algorithms are presented in terms of storage and total ops per restart step. Numerical results indicate that GMRES is faster than ORTHOMIN for all tested petroleum reservoir problems, particularly for large scale problems. The control volume function approximation method is utilized in the discretization of the governing equations of the black oil model. This method can accurately approximate both the pressure and velocity in the simulation of multiphase ow in porous media, e ectively reduce grid orientation e ects, and be easily applied to arbitrarily shaped control volumes. It is particularly suitable for hybrid grid reservoir simulation.

SUMMARYThis paper deals with the application of the GMRES algorithm to a three-dimensional, three-phase black oil model used in petroleum reservoir simulation. Comparisons between the GMRES and ORTHOMIN algorithms in terms of storage and total ops per restart step are given. Numerical results show that the GMRES is faster than the ORTHOMIN for large-scale simulation problems. The GMRES uses only as much as 63% of the CPU time of the ORTHOMIN for some of the problems tested.

Geological and petrophysical characterization of the Ferron Sandstone for 3-D simulation of a fluvial-deltaic reservoir. Quarterly progress report, January 1, 1997--March 31, 1997

ObjectiveThe objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and quantitative characterization of a fluvial-deltaic reservoir which will allow realistic inter-well and reservoir-scale modeling to be constructed for improved oil-field development in similar reservoirs world-wide. The geological and petrophysical properties of the Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone in east-central Utah will be quantitatively determined. Both new and existing data will be integrated into a three-dimensional representation of spatial variations in porosity, storativity, and tensorial rock permeability at a scale appropriate for inter-well to regional-scale reservoir simulation. Results could improve reservoir management through proper infill and extension drilling strategies, reduction of economic risks, increased recovery fiom existing oil fields, and more reliable reserve calculations. Transfer of the project results to the petroleum industry is an integral component of the project.
