TRACER SIMULATION TOOL AND METHOD FOR SIMULATING TRACERS IN SUB-SURFACE RESERVOIRS.

摘要

The invention concerns a method and a tool in which pre-solved reservoir simulation is used as input for sub-sequentially solving the tracer transport equations. By solving tracer transport equations in a separate step, evaluation of a particular tracer scenario can be performed in minutes. A modular tracer simulator tool capable of making tracer simulations based on input from reservoir simulations enable inter alia efficient planning of tracer injections, visualization of reservoir simulation results and conditioning of reservoir simulation models to production data.
