Initial water saturation is 15%. There is no free gas in the reservoir. Assume that
the reservoir pressure remains above bubble point pressure at all times

i.

Depth of the top surface of the grid system is 1000 m.

Permeability of the rock ranges from 10 mD to 100 mD

Capillary pressure is negligible

Assume the grid system to be a closed reservoir

Solve the equations implicitly

What will be the structure of the coefficient matrix? Plot the structure of the coefficient
matrix showing the non-zero diagonals.

[Max marks 5]

Total grid number N=16.

Each grid has two equations for oil and water respectively. Total equation number
=2N=32.
Coefficient matrix is a 2N*2N=32*32 matrix with 10 non-zero diagonals.
See the structure in the attached excel. The red filled cells represent zero value
while white colour represents non-zero entries

Starting from the compositional 3-phase equation, derive flow equations for the gas
component in a 3 phase Black oil model:

is the part of the gas dissolved in oil phase

is the gas component in gas phase which is equal to unity

is the gas component in water phase which is equal to zero

For gas component (i.e. i = G), the above equation can therefore be modified as:
[
