A NEAR WELLBORE SIMULATOR?

The major objective of this project is to develop a Near Wellbore Simulator, a software programme, which will assist oil and gas companies in effective chemical squeeze treatments in oil and gas fields. This report contains methodology planned to apply to develop the complete software package for proposed Near Wellbore Simulator. This document contains information about purpose and requirement of such programme, design of user interface for the programme users, methodology to do flow computation, and result calculation from flow computation have been described in sequence. In the beginning, the background information about challenges oil and gas companies are facing has been described along with the demand of this type of software programme. The objective of this project is to develop a near wellbore simulator (a software package) to simulate the scale inhibitor squeeze treatment operations and evaluate post squeeze well behavior. The proposed simulator will serve for all the challenges (described above) faced by operator during scale squeeze treatments. All the mathematical equations for solution flow, adsorption, desorption, will be provided and will be coded inside the software. The user of the software will input required data and compute squeeze treatments to solve various challenges they face during scale inhibitor squeeze. There is important demand of a software programme, a near wellbore simulator, which assist oil and gas companies in effective squeeze treatments The region or rock layers, which is close to wellbore (let’s say up to 50 meters away from wellbore) is called near wellbore region. Due to deposition of scale mineral either on the rock surface in the near wellbore region or inside the wellbore, oil and gas production decreases. This software will help the oil and gas industries to determine what amount of chemicals should be used so that minerals should not get deposited on the wellbore.
