Daily Update - Mohammad Elkady - (June-01-2022)

1.  What did I do today?

Today I have watched an CMG Tutorial and applied the gained knowledge on the software itself.

2.  What did I find interesting/Work on? 

·       Wells & Recurrent section

o   Well trajectories and well perfs

o   Production/injection data wizard can import simple production data (Excel) and can create history files to compare simulation results

o   Well constraints for well performance and prediction

o   you can work in groups of wells as producers or injectors

o   You can also use wizard to generate fractures

§  Create planar fractures

§  Complex fractures by entering the data manually based on micro-seismic data.

§  Import the data from another frac software

·       IMEX

o   Has variety of applications

§  Primary recovery, water-flood, gas injection, infill drilling, horizontal wells, WAG process, artificial Lift

§  Advanced EOR process such as pseudo miscible flood, polymer flood

§  Hydraulic Fractures and Non-Darcy Flow

§  Sea water injection

§  Multiple PVT regions

o   Fractured Reservoirs

§  Dual-Porosity and Dual-Permeability

§  Fracture-Matrix and Matrix-Matrix Connections (each has its own parameters)

-        There is a transfer function to account for the flow from the matrix fracture

-        For the dual permeability model you have matrix to matrix flow in addition to the fracture to frac. In dual porosity you have only frac to frac.

o   Different Fluid model types

§  Black Oil

§  Oil Water

§  Pseudo-Miscible

§  Polymer Model

§  API Tracking

§  Gas Condensate/Volatile Oil

·       CMOST AI

o   Sensitivity analysis, history matching optimization and uncertainty assessment tool

o   You can specify a range for your parameters and see how it affects your results

The figure below is a screenshot from the work I have done applying the tutorial concepts.

3.  What will I do next?

I will keep learning more about the fundamentals of the CMG so when I switch to the CMG STARS I can be as efficient as possible, also I will keep reading new papers about EOR Simulations.
