Convergence of a dual‐porosity model for two‐phase flow in fractured reservoirs

A dual‐porosity model describing two‐phase, incompressible, immiscible flows in a fractured reservoir is considered. Indeed, relations among fracture mobilities, fracture capillary presure, matrix mobilities, and matrix capillary presure of the model are mainly concerned. Roughly speaking, proper relations for these functions are (1) Fracture mobilities go to zero slower than matrix mobilities as fracture and matrix saturations go to their limits, (2) Fracture mobilities times derivative of fracture capillary presure and matrix mobilities times derivative of matrix capillary presure are both integrable functions. Galerkin's method is used to study this problem. Under above two conditions, convergence of discretized solutions obtained by Galerkin's method is shown by using compactness and monotonicity methods. Uniqueness of solution is studied by a duality argument. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Terahertz-dependent identification of simulated hole shapes in oil gas reservoirs

Detecting holes in oil–gas reservoirs is vital to the evaluation of reservoir potential. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of identifying general micro-hole shapes, including triangular, circular, and square shapes, in oil–gas reservoirs by adopting terahertz time-domain spectroscopy(THz-TDS). We evaluate the THz absorption responses of punched silicon(Si) wafers having micro-holes with sizes of 20 μm–500 μm. Principal component analysis(PCA) is used to establish a model between THz absorbance and hole shapes. The positions of samples in three-dimensional spaces for three principal components are used to determine the differences among diverse hole shapes and the homogeneity of similar shapes. In addition, a new Si wafer with the unknown hole shapes, including triangular, circular, and square, can be qualitatively identified by combining THz-TDS and PCA. Therefore, the combination of THz-TDS with mathematical statistical methods can serve as an effective approach to the rapid identification of micro-hole shapes in oil–gas reservoirs.     

CO2 Injection in Geological Formations: Determining Macroscale Coefficients from Pore Scale Processes

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) injections in geological formations are usually performed for enhanced hydrocarbon recovery in oil and gas reservoirs and storage and sequestration in saline aquifers. Once CO₂ is injected into the formation, it propagates in the porous rock by dispersion and convection. Chemical reactions between brine ions and CO₂ molecules and consequent reactions with mineral grains are also important processes. The dynamics of CO₂ molecules in random porous media are modeled with a set of differential equations corresponding to pore scale and continuum macroscale. On the pore scale, convective–dispersive equation is solved considering reactions on the inner boundaries in a unit cell. A unit cell is the smallest portion of a porous media that can reproduce the porous media by repetition. Inner boundaries in a unit cell are the surfaces of the mineral grains. Dispersion process at the pore scale is transformed into continuum macroscale by adopting periodic boundary conditions for contiguous unit cells and applying Taylor-Aris dispersion theory known as macrotransport theory. Using this theory, the discrete porous system changes into a continuum system within which the propagation and interaction of CO₂ molecules with fluid and solid matrix of the porous media are characterized by three position-independent macroscopic coefficients: the mean velocity vector , dispersivity dyadic , and mean volumetric CO₂ depletion coefficient .     

Optimization of reservoirs in series on a river with a nonlinear storage curve for long-term regulation

We present in this paper a new approach to finding the monthly optimal operation of a multireservoir power system connected in series on a river. The hydroelectric power generation is a highly nonlinear function of the storage, and the conversion factor assigned to each power plant is also a nonlinear function of the storage. We use for both a quadratic function of the storage; the resulting problem has a highly nonlinear objective function and linear constraints. We propose a transformation such that the system equations are reduced to linear-quadratic form. Lagrange and Kuhn-Tucker multipliers are used to adjoin the equality and inequality constraints to the objective function. Numerical results are presented for a real system in operation consisting of two reservoirs in series on a river for widely different water conditions.This work was supported by the National Research Council of Canada, Grant No. A4146.
