The New CRM-Like Two-Phase Proxy Model for the Oil Field Development Process

  • Published:
Mathematical Models and Computer Simulations Aims and scope

Abstract

Capacitive resistive models (CRMs) are a group of simplified mathematical models (proxy models) based on the material balance equation, which allow solving various practical problems that arise during the development of oil fields. An important limitation of traditional CRMs, which significantly narrows the range of tasks that can be solved, is the inability to account for changes in the water saturation of rocks, which limits their applicability only to periods with a high water content of the well’s products. This article presents the author’s new CRM-like model that does not have this disadvantage. An algorithm for adapting such a model is also proposed. The results of numerical experiments on synthetic hydrodynamic models demonstrating a better quality of solutions compared to the CRMP are presented.
