Finite element modelling of three‐phase flow in deforming saturated oil reservoirs

Abstract: A numerical simulation is presented for three-dimensional three-phase fluid flow in a deforming saturated oil reservoir. The mathematical formulation describes a fully coupled governing equation systen which consists of the equilibrium and continuity equations for three immiscible fluids flowing in a porous medium. An elastoplastic soil model, based on a Mohr-Coulomb yield surface, is used. The finite element method is applied to obtain simultaneous solutions to the governing equations where displacement and f… Show more

“…Such properties may be derived directly from laboratory data and fitted to theoretical or empirical functions (e.g., Liu et al, 2009) or by calibration to field experiments (e.g., . Stability issues related to sequential coupling of geomechanics and multiphase flow has been an intensive research topic for decades (e.g., Felippa and Park, 1980;Park, 1983;Zienkiewicz et al, 1988;Lewis and Sukirman, 1993;Prevost, 1997;Minkoff et al, 2003;Thomas et al, 2003;Dean et al, 2006). Recently, an excellent and rather conclusive study was carried out by Kim (2010), showing the advantages of the sequential coupling method for this class of coupled simulators.…”

“…The geomechanical and flow fields are fully coupled in a stag- gered solution strategy using either sequential or iterative approaches (Lewis and Sukirman, 1993;Settari and Mourits, 1998;Settari and Walters, 2001;Mainguy and Longuemare, 2002;Dean et al, 2003;Thomas et al, 2002;Tran et al, 2004;Jha and Juanes, 2007).…”

“…Such an approach is usually implemented using finite element numerical models (FEM). Several studies using finite element modelling for oilfield subsidence have been published [54][55][56][57][58]. Implementation of FEM requires a static 3D model of the reservoir and of the surrounding region, describing all its geological, lithological, stratigraphical and petrophysical aspects (e.g., the shapes of the layers and the trend of the faults, initial porosity and permeability), and a dynamic model regarding the characteristics of the fluids, the rock and the well system [58].…”
