Title: A new method for representing multiple wells with arbitrary rates in numerical reservoir simulation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:153072

A new equation is presented for calculating the equivalent wellblock radii for all N{sub w} wells in a reservoir. Arbitrary well rates and the interaction between wells are fully accounted for. The data required for the new equation may be obtained in a preprocessor by calculating N{sub w} single-phase pressure distributions. Then an accurate equivalent wellblock radius can be calculated for each well each time step, even under conditions where well rates vary with time.
