METHOD OF MANAGING PETRO-CHEMICAL RESERVOIR PRODUCTION AND PROGRAM PRODUCT THEREFOR

A method and computer program product for managing hydrocarbon field production, e.g., petro-chemical reservoir production. The hydrocarbon field is modeled using the finite volume method (FVM) model and the finite element method (FEM). Centroids are located in each FVM cell and each FEM element and...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method and computer program product for managing hydrocarbon field production, e.g., petro-chemical reservoir production. The hydrocarbon field is modeled using the finite volume method (FVM) model and the finite element method (FEM). Centroids are located in each FVM cell and each FEM element and overlapping cells are identified. After determining the distance between centroids for overlapping cells, fluid characteristics are mapped to the FEM element centroids, weighted inversely for distance between the respective centroids. A permeability/conductivity weighted average is determined for pore pressure and temperature of sub-volumes clustered around each FEM element node. Field production may be adjusted in response to FEM element node characteristics.
