3D modeling a CCS scenario
Description
This example of a simulation of CO2 storage in a saline aquifer aims at demonstrating the enhanced modeling capabilities of the software to address the simulations of engineering complexity. The example involves using multiple inclined wells for the gas injections. The wells are specified by their trajectories. The flow rate is balanced between the wells by a fixed tubing-head pressure. So, the group controls are applied to better represent the interaction with a surface network. Furthermore, we use a numerical aquifer, the relative permeability hysteresis, and the end-point scaling options. Although, the realistic geology is missing, the example can be easily adopted to a specific storage reservoir. The simulation is performed using the BLACKOIL module. However, the input files can be rather simply modified to be used with other modules to simulate complicated effects in the fluid.
