Abstract

Composition and physical properties vary within hydrocarbon reservoirs, even in well connected ones; it is of crucial interest to model this change in order to initialize the reservoir simulator. In this work, a non-isothermal model is used to depict changes in plus fraction molecular weight and it will be integrated into another non-isothermal model describing fluid compositional changes within a 3D reservoir. Previously, the model has been validated versus 1D real reservoir data. It will be used to model compositional change of real hydrocarbon in a synthetic 3D reservoir subjected to temperature gradient inx,y, andzdirections. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Abstract

The article analyzes the results of the exploratory effort in the South-Caspian Basin and the causes of failures to discover substantial hydrocarbon reserves in 1995 through 2005. A geologic concept is proposed that may help improve exploratory drilling efficiency. The region's reserves and resources are evaluated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
