6 Problem 1 Part A: IMPES Fully Implicit Comparison Coarse Grid IMPES Sub-directory March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 6

7 Reservoir Details We have a linear reservoir 5000 x 100 x 30 feet. Grid is 50 x 1 x 1 Water injector at one end and producer at other end Two phase (oil-water) system Oil viscosity = 2 cp and water viscosity = 0.5 cp Simulate 2000 days. March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 7

8 FloViz View March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 8

9 Choice in Solution of the Equations IMPES Implicit Pressure Explicit Saturation Linear problem smaller Through put limitations: 5 10% PV Stability problems Timestep size - small March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 9

10 Choice in Solution of the Equations Fully Implicit Unconditionally Stable large timesteps Timesteps controlled by time truncation error Few long timesteps March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 10

11 Comparison IMPES and Fully Implicit Solution Amount of Numerical Dispersion (Error) in the results Work to obtain solution Number of linear iterations Number of non-linear (Newton) iterations CPU time per time step Total CPU time March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 11

12 Iteration Process in Reservoir Simulation Example of linear and non-linear iteration process: 4 non-linear iterations Usually a non-linear iteration requires 10 to 30 linears to converge pressure and saturations March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 12

13 Data Set Names IMPES.DATA uses IMPES solution FULLIMP.DATA uses fully implicit solution Location sub-directory: Problem 1/IMPES March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 13

14 View Results: Comparison Oil Production Rate Production Water Cut Map of Water Saturations At 500 Days At 1000 Days Number of Linear Iterations in Each Timestep Sum of Linear Iterations March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 14

15 View Results: Comparison Newton (non-linear) Iterations in each timestep Sum of Newton Iteration Timestep Length Note: Fully Implicit takes 31 timesteps IMPES takes 207 timesteps CPU Time Per Timestep Total CPU Time March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 15

16 Your Task View the.data sets Difference IMPES (in Schedule Section) Fully Implicit (E100 Default) Run the data sets with ECLIPSE 100 Plot the results Study the results and answer the following questions March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 16

17 Questions Which technique takes more linear iterations per timestep? Which technique takes more Newton iterations per timestep? Which technique requires more work to solve the simulation? Why? We will discuss the results in class. March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 17

18 Problem 1 Part A: IMPES Fully Implicit Comparison Fine Grid IMPES 2 Sub-directory March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 18

19 Reservoir Details We have the same reservoir, fluids, etc. except that now we will subdivide the grid into 2000 blocks in the x-direction instead of the previous 50. The length of the grid blocks are now 2.5 feet instead of the previous length of 100 feet. March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 19

20 Run and Compare Results Run the IMPES.DATA and FULLIMP.DATA in the IMPES2 subdirectory and run Graf in the IMPES2 sub-directory. With these smaller grid blocks the problem is numerically more difficult, but the numerical dispersion is less. March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 20

21 Questions Answer the same questions from the previous part. Note the differences in the IMPES and Fully Implicit runs. Magnitude of the numerical dispersion in the water cut, etc. Instabilities in the IMPES run. Number of linear and non-linear iterations Sum of the linear and non-linear Total CPU time for these cases. March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 21

22 Conclusion For a blackoil simulation with ECLIPSE we will prefer to use the default solution Fully Implicit since the results are much more stable and the CPU time is less. March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 22

23 Problem 1 Part B: Time Truncation Test: Quarter 5-Spot Water Flood March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 23

24 March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 24 We have the accumulation term in our equations, for example When it is discretized we get terms as follows Time Truncation Error o o B S t φ ( ) t P - P - t P - P d ) B (1/ d ) S (1 - + t P - P C B ) S (1 - ) ( - t S - S B ) ( cow n cow n+1 n o n+1 o i p i w oi i o n i o n+1 i f wi oi i z y x n o n+1 o i w i i z y x φ φ φ 1

25 Time Truncation Error This discretization process yields and error that is O( t) in the solution of the equations. This error is called Time Truncation Error March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 25

26 Simulation Situation 11x11x1 quarter 5-spot involving water injection Diagonal Grid 1452 x 1452 x 50 meter flow field K = 830 md, ϕ = 0.17 Water Injector on water rate control Producer on liquid rate control Simulate 3660 days March 06 Applied Reseervoir Simulation Day 1 26
