Generalized compositional approach for reservoir simulation

Conference · · Soc. Pet. Eng. AIME, Pap.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6354542
A procedure for solving compositional model equations is described which is based on the Newton-Raphson iteration method. The example problems considered (a conventional waterflood problem, displacement of oil by carbon dioxide, and the displacement of a gas condensate by nitrogen) illustrate the utility of the different fluid property correlations. The computing times reported are at least as low as for other methods that are specialized for a narrower class of problems. 32 refs.
