Project done for clients

• Simulation of BG’s Panna model in FrontSim, to evaluate feasibility of streamline simulation on highly heterogeneous model with three phase flow. Objective of study was to run FrontSim on history period without much difference of results of eclipse and in prediction waterflooding development plan. The results achieved with reduced simulation run time by 90% without compromising result accuracy.

• Simulation of Mangla field in FrontSim, for evaluation of waterflooding plan on heavy oil field. Streamline simulation helped to identify the Injector producer pattern, and we apply automated Pattern Flooding Management to reduce water injection quantity to optimize waterflood and it reduced simulation run time by 50% without compromising result accuracy.

• Simulation of ONGC BH model in FrontSim, to study the fluid flow path in reservoir with reduction of simulation run time.
