Abstract:

It is not quite reliable to model fluid flow around horizontal wellbores with conventional reservoir simulators of rectangular grid system due to the fact that the fluid flow is found to be a radial flow. In this paper, we simulate the radial fluid flow around the horizontal wellbores with an efficient method of hybrid refinement around the wellbore by combining rectangular gridblocks with the radial gridblocks. We also choose the 7th SPE comparative Solution Project(SPE 21211) to demonstrate the effectiveness of the model.
