| Summary: | 1988 Firoozabadi' documented the performance of the assist the engineer in the estimation of the primary recovery become the same and the equations of state often fail to but could not describe the sharp changes that take place in By modifying either of this parameters the computational compositional simulation feasible. This study will converge, making the compositional simulation impossible. In critical point the properties of the liquid and the gas critical reservoirs. The methods are simple and can be demonstrate that by using either of the two methods presented Equations of state present computational problems predicting fluid systems at conditions away from the critical regions, fraction of gas used in the sample recombination process). gas without having a significant effect on the primary here, accurate estimates of primary recovery (within 1% of industry's most common equations of state. He reported that limitation but a rapid and accurate solution is required. Method #2 modifies the composition (represented by the Method #I, modifies the temperature of the reservoir, and methods for avoiding the computational problems of near- modifying two adjustement parameters in the simulator. of near critical reservoirs when time and resources are a problems around the critical point can be avoided making the process. The methods approach the problem by artificially readily applied whenever dealing with this kind of reservoir. recovery estimates. reservoir can be treated as a volatile oil, or a retrograde state because this can be an expensive and time consuming the behavior of near critical reservoirs. Around the The methods also demonstrate that for near critical fluids a The methods do not involve the re-tuning of the equation of the OOIP and OGIP) can be achieved. This two methods can the vicinity of the critical point. This study developed two they can readily predict the behavior of complex reservoir |
