Reservoir Simulation

Reservoir Simulation

Reservoir simulation is at the core of OPCs technical services department. We apply the latest technology and industry standard software together with highly competent in house engineering and geoscience staff, to build geostatistical models and up-scale them to dynamic models for black oil and compositional studies, highly fractured and faulted reservoirs studies, and the pilot studies and implementation of various EOR techniques.  Studies have included tight gas, gas -condensate reservoirs, reservoirs with horizontal wells and field development planning.

Reservoir engineering studies have included phase behaviour and equation of state modelling and production engineering.

OPC has access to industry standard software technology including Eclipse 100/300, Petrel, MBAL, Prosper, GAP, Kraken and PIE.

Reservoir Simulation

  • Extensive experience with Eclipse
  • Black-oil simulation
  • Compositional simulation
  • Horizontal wells & fractured reservoirs
  • CO₂ miscible floods, water & steam floods
  • Gas condensate & tight gas reservoirs
  • Conversions of data sets between simulators

So below selected examples of recent projects undertaken by OPC:

Some recent reservoir simulation projects and studies

Geothermal Modelling – Doublet System
OPC performed modelling of a geothermal open-loop doublet system (injector and producer). The objective was to perform NODAL analysis using a range of sensitivities to develop scenarios and outline recommendations...
Extensive reservoir study
OPC conducted an extensive reservoir study of a large field in West Africa in order to define and assess the remaining production opportunities in the field.
Producing oilfields re-development study
OPC deployed a multidisciplinary team of 11 people (with subsurface, facilities, drilling and economics expertise) to undertake an extensive 5-month re-development study for a group of oilfields in the Middle...
PTA and PVT review to determine gas caps
OPC undertook a review of existing PTA (Pressure Transient Analysis) data and existing laboratory PVT analyses from several wells in an offshore field in West Africa.
Oilfield simulation study
A simulation study was carried out by OPC to maximise the value of a large producing oil field in Central Africa. 
Modelling and simulation review
OPC has successfully completed a full static and dynamic modelling and simulation review in order to assess the feasibility of the operator’s appraisal and development plan.
