Title: Permeability estimation using two-phase flow equations and 4D seismics.
Abstract:
In this work the equations of fluid flow in porous media are used in combination with time-lapse changes in pressure and saturation and 4D seismic results for estimating the absolute permeability in reservoirs. The derived fluid flow differential equations are discretized and solved using Matlab, additional parameters such as mobility, and fractional flow are also considered. This work integrates different disciplines, mathematics, computer programming, geophysics and reservoir engineering. These together serve as tools to predict reservoir performance and to optimize the hydrocarbon recovery and field profit by reducing the uncertainty and by generating updated integrated models.
