Abstract:

Potential tapping through oilfield development adjustment to improve water-flooding recovery in the late period of high water cut stage requires that the residual oil distribution for Daqing oil field should be quantitatively studied using large scale reservoir numerical simulation. Enlarged scale and highly expected efficiency need higher technical capability for reservoir numerical simulation. By using PC-Cluster technique developed in recent years, large-scale reservoir numerical simulation can be performed at a relatively low cost in Daqing oil field. Firstly, the first PC-Cluster used for reservoir numerical simulation is established in Daqing oil field, and based on this developing environment, the serial black oil simulator is paralleled. Then, this PC-Cluster parallel simulating technique is applied in seven oil production districts of Daqing oil field. The hardware and system software configuration of PC-Clusters established in Daqing oil field is briefly introduced, the idea and method for paralleling the serial applying results is described and presented.
