  2. Reservoir simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_simulation

    Reservoir simulation is an area of reservoir engineering in which computer models are used to predict the flow of fluids (typically, oil, water, and gas) through porous media. The creation of models of oil fields and the implementation of calculations of field development on their basis is one of the main areas of activity of engineers and oil ...

  3. Reservoir modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_modeling

    Reservoir simulation models are created by reservoir engineers and use finite difference methods to simulate the flow of fluids within the reservoir, over its production lifetime. Sometimes a single "shared earth model" is used for both purposes. More commonly, a geological model is constructed at a relatively high (fine) resolution.

  4. Black-oil equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-oil_equations

    The black-oil equations are a set of partial differential equations that describe fluid flow in a petroleum reservoir, constituting the mathematical framework for a black-oil reservoir simulator. [1] The term black-oil refers to the fluid model, in which water is modeled explicitly together with two hydrocarbon components, one (pseudo) oil ...

  5. Geologic modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geologic_modelling

    For example, in the oil and gas industry, realistic geologic models are required as input to reservoir simulator programs, which predict the behavior of the rocks under various hydrocarbon recovery scenarios. A reservoir can only be developed and produced once; therefore, making a mistake by selecting a site with poor conditions for development ...

  6. Hydrological model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrological_model

    Example 1 The linear-reservoir model (or Nash model) is widely used for rainfall-runoff analysis. The model uses a cascade of linear reservoirs along with a constant first-order storage coefficient, K , to predict the outflow from each reservoir (which is then used as the input to the next in the series).

  7. IRAP RMS Suite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRAP_RMS_Suite

    Roxar RMS is a reservoir characterization and modeling software suite. It is primarily designed for use in the oil and gas industry, helping engineers gather data from a wide variety of sources to efficiently build reliable reservoirs.

  8. Computer simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_simulation

    reservoir simulation for the petroleum engineering to model the subsurface reservoir; process engineering simulation tools. robot simulators for the design of robots and robot control algorithms; urban simulation models that simulate dynamic patterns of urban development and responses to urban land use and transportation policies.

  9. Oil and gas reserves and resource quantification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_and_gas_reserves_and...

    Reservoir simulation is an area of reservoir engineering in which computer models are used to predict the flow of fluids (typically, oil, water, and gas) through porous media. The amount of oil & gas recoverable from a conventional reservoir is assessed by accurately characterising the static recoverable volumes and history matching that to ...
