COMSOL Modeling of a Submarine Geothermal Chimney

M. Suárez [1], and F. Samaniego [2]
[1]Faculty of Sciences, Michoacán University (UMSNH), Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico
[2]Faculty of Engineering Postgrade Studies Division, National University of Mexico (UNAM), Mexico City, Mexico

New geothermal energy sources hold promise for the future. Deep submarine geothermal energy related to hydrothermal vents is emerging in many places along the oceanic spreading centers. Shallow submarine geothermal systems are found near to continental platforms. We present the initial ... Read More

COMSOL Implementation for Upscaling of Two-Phase Immiscible Flows in Communicating Layered Reservoirs

X. Zhang, A. Shapiro, and E.H. Stenby
Center for Energy Resources Engineering, Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark

Waterflooding is widely used in secondary oil recovery. The physics is described by the model of two-phase flow in porous media. The aim of the present work is to implement this model in COMSOL Multiphysics and to simulate the process of waterflooding. It is analyzed in two dimensions. ... Read More

Effect of S-p Relation Model on DNAPL Migration Simulation Result

H. Ishimori[1], and K. Endo[1]
[1]National Institute for Environmental Studies, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan

To consider effective counter measures against ground water contaminated with dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) such as chlorinated solvents, it is first important to understand the mechanism of their migration in heterogeneous aquifer. In addition, numerical analysis models to ... Read More

Simulating Hydraulic Fracturing and Contaminant Transport with MATLAB® and COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

D. W. Pepper [1], E. Nabizadeh [1], J. Waters [2],
[1] University of Nevada Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV, USA
[2] Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, USA

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique used to extract oil and gas in shale rock. A mixture of water, sand, and chemicals are pumped into the well at high pressures to keep the fissures open, which allows the gas to flow. Although intermediate casings are inserted into the ... Read More

Analysis of 1D, 2D, and 3D Marine CSEM in COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

E. C. Luz[1]
[1]Universidade Federal do Pará, Belém, PA, Brazil

The Marine Controlled Source ElectroMagnetic (marine CSEM) is a geophysical method used by the oil industry to investigate resistive targets in the sediments under the ocean floor. In this work we simulate marine CSEM data including 1D, 2.5D and 3D modeling. The results obtained with ... Read More

页岩气水基钻井液钻井井壁稳定性研究

杨子莘 [1], 马天寿 [1], 练章华 [1],
[1] 西南石油大学

2015年由美国大发起页岩气革命成功地使美国从油气进口国转变为油气出口国。这使得页岩气成为能源领域关注的热点。页岩气与煤炭和石油相比更为清洁，且储量更为丰富。开发页岩气的两项关键技术是水平井钻井技术和压裂改造地层技术。然而，由于页岩相比于其他岩石水化学活性更强，导致在水平井钻穿储层过程中井壁极容易垮塌失稳。油基泥浆的使用可以克服上述问题，但成本昂贵且受环保限制。水基泥浆的普及依赖于对页岩水化的深入理解。在页岩水化反应过程中，温度场、离子浓度场、渗流场、应力场均不同程度地作用在井壁周围岩石，而且相互耦合作用随时间不断变化 ... Read More

Benchmarking Tailored Formulations of Multiphase Flow in Porous Media

Á. Sainz [1,2], A. Nardi [1], E. Abarca [1], F. Grandía [1]
[1] Amphos 21 Consulting S.L., Barcelona, Spain
[2] Université Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France

Nowadays, gas and nuclear waste storage, shale gas and EOR exploitation rise the need to understand and predict the fate of multiphase flows in the underground. Various formulations for multiphase flow arise from different linear combinations of governing equations and choice of ... Read More

CFD Simulation of Pore Pressure Oscillation Method to Measure the Permeability of Tight Formations

M. Mokhtari [1], S. A. Madani [1], A. Seibi [1],
[1] Department of Petroleum Engineering, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, LA, USA

Accurate estimation of rock permeability and porosity play a crucial role in the evaluation of oil and gas reservoirs. This evaluation is, however, challenging in tight formations such as shale due to the slow transition of fluid in such formations with extremely-low permeability. To ... Read More
