The Egg Model Study
Description
The egg model description used in this example can be found in: Jansen J.D. et al. 2014 The egg model: a geological ensemble for reservoir simulation. Geosci. Data J. 1: 192-195. DOI: 10.1002/gdj3.21. This two-phase problem involves oil production from a heterogeneous oil reservoir using waterflooding technique. There are 18553 active grid blocks in total. The permeability distribution is heterogeneous whereas the porosity distribution is uniform. There is no capillary pressure, rocks are incompressible, and PVT properties of dead oil and water are defined using simple relationships. There are 4 producers operating under constant bottom-hole pressure and 8 water injectors with a given injection rate. A five-spot layout is used for wells location. The heterogeneous permeability distribution affects the time of water appearance in the production wells. On the right you see the oil saturation at a selected moment of time. The oil and water production rates should be reported for every well every 30 days through 3600 days of production.
