Drilling NPT Analysis for Volve Oilfield

The duration spent on drilling is an essential element to be taken into account when exploring any hydrocarbon field as it is a direct reflection of the money spent. This article looks into Non-Performing Time events by discussing it from the sub-surface and surface scenarios, based on the analysis performed in 5 wells of the Volve Oilfield. ...  (Read more)

SIMULATION MODEL SOLUTION and SUMMARY Section Description – Part 4/5

The simulator calculates the initial equilibrium state of the reservoir and defines the the pressure and saturations in each grid cell. For a reservoir with multi-phase fluid, the vertical pressure and saturation gradient can be determined from the contact depths, together with the capillary pressure at these depths.
