Reservoir characterization
This work investigates the root cause of strong oil/water emulsion and if sludge formation is occurring within the reservoir using a robust integrated approach.
In this work, a perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory equation of state has been developed to characterize heavy-oil-associated systems containing polar components and nonpolar components with respect to phase behavior and physical properties.
The paper describes a parameter inversion of reservoirs based on featured points, using a semi-iterative well-test-curve-matching approach that addresses problems of imbalanced inversion accuracy and efficiency.
