Resumo: | |||||||||||||
Oil fields with non-associated gas like gas condensate type stand out due to
the higher added economic value associated with their energy resource: the
significant amount of condensate produced, in addition to the gas itself. However,
such reservoirs have a particular thermodynamic behavior, inducing changes in
composition and, consequently, phase throughout the depletion production process.
Under reservoir conditions, for example, the phenomenon called condensate
blockage may occur, in which bridges of condensate are formed, usually in regions
close to the wells, thus hindering flow and affecting gas production.
In order to define the best management strategy for a project to be
implemented throughout the exploitation of this type of reservoir, an important tool
used by engineers is numerical simulation. The relative permeability curves are
used in the simulations, especially related to the representation of the mentioned
physical phenomenon. In reality, however, there is a specific limitation of
representativeness of the phenomenon in the laboratory tests carried out by the
industry, and the best inputs could be provided by simulations in a pore network,
with models that represent its alteration as a function of changes in interfacial
tension and flow velocity along the reservoir.
The reproduction of a pore network flow simulation to the closest possible
scale in a commercial finite difference simulation is validated. From the pore
network simulation to the field scale practiced in reservoir simulations, a scale-up
methodology is proposed, using an optimization process, seeking to be faithful to
the original relative permeability curve, on a microporous scale, obtained by
simulating phenomenologically the condensation process in the reservoir, using a
model that reproduces its dependence on the velocity flow developed by the phases
in a porous medium.
The three relative permeability curves used were presented by comparing
productivities at the field scale and the evolution of condensate saturation in regions
close to the wells. The results show that the proposed methodology proves to be
more faithful to the influence of condensation in the reservoir on the productivity
of the wells when compared to the relative permeability curve input from the
laboratory test, which presents the condensate with more mobility.
