Bell Creek Test Site - Simulation Report - Plains CO2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership Phase III Task 9 - Deliverable D66, Update 3
With the goal of providing a comprehensive assessment of associated CO2 storage behavior, the PCOR Partnership has initiated a modeling and numerical simulation effort for the Bell Creek oil field as part of its adaptive management approach to program development. The modeling and simulation program includes 1) characterizing and modeling the study area using advanced geologic modeling workflows; 2) developing a robust pressure, volume, and temperature model to predict the miscibility behavior of the CO2Bell Creek crude system and to aid in compositional simulation; 3) history-matching the constructed dynamic reservoir models; and 4) running predictive simulations to aid in monitoring long-term behavior of injected CO2. This annual report encompasses the modeling and simulation work completed since the August 2013 Bell Creek simulation report and includes 1) the incorporation of 33 baseline and seven repeat pulsed-neutron logs (PNLs) to improve the static and dynamic geocellular models, 2) history matching and predictive simulations of the Phase 2 area of the Bell Creek Field, and 3) additional predictive simulations of the Phase 1 area of the Bell Creek Field. Later versions contain new data and interpretations that may supersede the information within this report.View/Download Document
