COMPREHENSIVE MODELING OF COMPLEX PETROLEUM PHENOMENA WITH AN ENGINEERING APPROACH
ABSTRAKT
It is well established that reservoir simulation studies are very subjective and varies from simulator to simulator. However, reservoir simulation, as practiced in the oil industry, is well recognized and is the standard tool for solving reservoir engineering problems. Unfortunately, almost all the existing simulators and their mathematical models are based on the conventional approach. It is also well-known that this approach comprises inherent assumptions which result the linearization of the model and solution. In contrary, the concept of engineering approach allows to bypassing linearization during the development of model equations. To avoid the hidden misconceptions and uncertainty in formulation, engineering approach is becoming more popular as long as it is more easily understandable. The present study critically reviews the inherent shortcomings of the conventional approach and analyzes the hidden assumptions behind the conventional approach and identifies the limitations of engineering approach. The strengths and weaknesses of the both approaches are outlined. The comprehensive modeling of complex petroleum phenomena will help researcher and industry to rethink and revisit their contribution in reservoir simulation. It will also help to build a new rigorous simulator using the noble concept.
