| Summary: | addition, the results of this study can lead to a advantages of these pseudofunctions over those published an important problem in reservoir simulation studies. analytically. The results of this study will be valuable averaging flow properties and fluid saturations in the based on fractional flow principles rather than on Darcy's capillary pressure functions or simply pseudofunctions is cases for which the previous methods lead to poor results. comparison to Jacks et al. method is studied numerically and complexities. Such modeling, however, often requires Determination of pseudo-relative permeability and et al. or Kyte and BeiTy. Both methods use fine-grid fluid movement, and pressure, distribution as the model functions will, in most cases, produce incorrect results. However, no verification of this claim has been presented in Law. Stone's method also uses fine-grid reservoir simulation linear model to duplicate the performance of the 2-D cross- mathematical analyses. Stone's pseudos are applied to a I-D method. More specifically, evaluation of Stone's method may model. Modeling the reservoir as simply as possible is quite modification of the method or even a development of a better number of grid blocks better than using pseudofunctions. In Numerous methods for generating the pseudofunctions by often desirable to reduce computing costs and previous methods. previously. An analysis on the development of the equations provide an answer to the problems resulting from the use of reservoir simulation results. Stone developed a new method results. The method has been reported to be applicable for sectional model from which the pseudos are generated. The simulated results are then discussed to determine the since their, is almost no other technique for reducing the special saturation-dependent functions since use of rock Stone's method based on both numerical simulation and the literature. This study evaluates and validates the use of the most common method is either the method proposed by Jacks These so-called pseudofunctions must be defined so that they will produce the same initial fluid distribution, used by the method is also performed. In addition, a validity and applicability of Stone's pseudofunctions and the vertical direction have been published. However, at present, with fine grids if they are applied to a coarsely-gridded |
