Modeling and scaleup of steamflood in a heterogeneous reservoir
- Chevron Petroleum Technology Co., La Habra, CA (United States)
A series of simulation runs was conducted for different geostatistically derived cross-sectional models to study the degree of heterogeneity required for proper modeling of steamfloods in a thick, heavy-oil reservoir with thin diatomite barriers Different methods for coarsening the most detailed models were applied, and performance predictions for the coarsened and detailed models compared. Use of a general scaleup method provided the most accurate coarse grid models.
