Resumo:
In a conventional reservoir simulation, usually the fluid flow model of an area of interest receives more attention than the geomechanics model. In these studies, the pore pressure, fluid saturation and reservoir temperature variations resulting from the production and injection of fluids during the field exploitation phase are analyzed. However, less attention is given to the mechanical behavior of rock, also called geomechanical effects in the petroleum industry, which is approximated in a conventional reservoir simulation using only a single mechanical parameter: the compressibility of the rock, which is insufficient to adequately evaluate the effect that the variation of the stress state in the reservoir and in the adjacent rocks exerts on the pore pressure in the reservoir. Because of that, this work aims at analyzing how the variations of rocks and fluids properties may affect the production of hydrocarbons and the order of magnitude of compaction and subsidence. Another equally important objective is the creation of an information flow that allows the estimation of the mechanical properties of the rocks, based on log data, in order to give greater accuracy to the data used. Thus, the analyses were performed using a methodology developed by the GTEP / PUC-Rio, which makes it possible to perform two way partially coupled simulations between the conventional flow simulator (IMEX) and the stress analysis program (CHRONOS). The obtained results indicate that the initiation of the gas released inside the reservoir has an impact not only on the exploitation of fluids, but also on the deceleration of the reservoir compaction process. In addition, changes in the properties of adjacent rocks do not generate a similar displacement behavior for all observed horizons.
