Utah FORGE Modeling & Simulation Forum #4


"Coupled Simulations of Well and Reservoir Thermal Hydraulics"

Presented by: Robert Podgorney  and David Andrs (INL), Aleta Finnila (Golder),

Pranay Asai (University of Utah)

 

August 19 at 11 am MDT

The forum features a discussion of the development of coupled well hydraulics and reservoir hydraulics simulations. These simulations are being prepared in preparation for conducting long-term operational simulations of the FORGE reservoir, where multistage stimulation and limited entry are anticipated in the injection well. The presentation will provide a summary of the well flow simulator, numerical coupling between the well and the reservoir, and provide a few preliminary examples.

This is the fourth forum of the series and is intended to have an open format to present modeling and simulation, both completed and planned, as well as activities being conducted by the Utah FORGE Team. This webinar has been recorded and is now available for viewing.

Press Release: Utah FORGE Begins Extended Circulation

Utah FORGE has begun an extended circulation test at its field laboratory near Milford, Utah. The test is expected to continue for up to four months, allowing researchers to evaluate long-term reservoir performance, thermal decline, water loss, and water treatment requirements under continuous flow conditions.
