Proxy-model for Flow and Transport in Geothermal Reservoirs

The hot water produced from a geothermal doublet possesses energy, which once utilized, the water cools down and is re-introduced back into the same reservoir at a sufficient distance using an injector well. As cold water flows through the reservoir, it acquires thermal energy from surrounding in-situ rocks. This process recurs until a...

Tie-Simplex Parameterization of Operator Based Linearization for Isothermal Multiphase Compositional Flow In Porous Media

Compositional flow simulation is the best practise to model the complex enhanced oil recovery process. This involves solving highly coupled and non linear flow, transport equations.<br/>Interaction of components within different phases and the fluid interaction with rock properties makes it difficult to accurately predict the natural flow...

Parameterization of Element Balance Formulation in Reactive Compositional Flow and Transport

We present a novel nonlinear formulation for modeling reactive-compositional flow and transport in presence of complex phase behavior due to combination of thermodynamic and chemical equilibrium in multi-phase systems. We apply this formulation to model precipitation/dissolution of minerals in reactive flow in subsurface reservoirs. The proposed...
