2-line Summary

This repository has 1D/2D single-/two-phase reservoir simulator that considers constant bottom hole pressure and constant rate vertical and horizontal wells, gravity, and heterogeneity. The Python code is validated with a commercial simulator, Computed Modeling Group Ltd. (https://www.cmgl.ca/).

Second Project: Simulation of Nechelik reservoir

Figure : Pressure contour plots correspond to the simulation of the Nechelik reservoir (80 X 75 cells) with 6 wells (2 horizontal, 4 vertical) for 1000 days with a time step of 0.1 days. After 500 days, water is being injected into two wells on the bottom left for secondary recovery.

Dependences

The codes requires the following packages to function:

• Python version 3.5+
• Numpy >= 1.16
• scipy >=1.5
• matplotlib >=3.3.4

Quick Usage

After cloning the repository and installing the required libraries, run the python files given in the separate folders. Codes can be run either directly or on an IDE such as Anaconda Spyder.
