1. Well Engineering
1.1 Wells - Make vertical wells
1. This is to decide where you want to locate the new well in your 3D model.
2. Click the location in a window using the Select/pick mode. The status bar
(bottom right) will display the X and Y surface coordinates.
3. Go to Input pane, and right-click the Wells folder. Choose New well from the
drop-down menu.
4. In the Create new well dialog box, enter a name for the well, select a symbol and
enter the X and Y coordinates. You can also enter a top measured depth and a
bottom measured depth to specify the depth interval of the well.
Property
Horizons
Faults
Seismic etc.
4) The new well will automatically be named Proposed with number and will be
saved under the Wells folder in Input pane. Right-click on the well and open its
settings. Now, you can define if the well should be a simple well, a standalone
well, or a side track well that tie into one of the existing wells in the project.
5) Change the symbol for the well, and rename the well into something in
accordance with the other wells. The well will be stored in the Proposed wells
folder.
the well, Petrel will prompt you for a start date. Enter the date you require to.
8. You can now edit the casing which you have just made. Hover the mouse pointer
over the casing shoe and see that it changes shape into a double arrow when
you cross the base of the casing.
9. Click and try to drag the casing base up and down in the Well section window to
your desire MD.
11. Access the Completions manager and filter by your well name.
12. Add additional attribute Columns > Equipment ID.
13. Use the drop-down menu to assign the New equipment to the well; the casing
which previously created.
14. Still editing the casing, enter the desire MD for Bottom off (m). Click Refresh and
observe how the casing is extended all the way to the bottom of the well.
. Now
insert a perforation that runs from the top of the reservoir to the bottom of the
well.
2. Petrel will ask for the start date for the perforation type in the date and click
OK.
3. Display the porosity and permeability from the grid properties along with the
completion track. Drag the perforation to a depth with good porosity (or
permeability). You can also extend the perforation using the up-and-down cursor
when hovering over the perforation at the very edge (top or bottom)
4. You may also change the Top MD and Bottom MD of the perforation by doubleclick on the perforation to open the settings and open the Depth/date tab.
3. Simulation Fault
3.1 Make a simulation fault
1. Open a 2D window.
2. Display the project boundary (edge around surface) and view the top horizon of
your 3D grid model.
3. Digitize a line that will be used to define the fault plane by first selecting the
Make/edit polygons process in the Utilities folder in the Processes pane. Then:
a. Activate the Make/edit polygons tool
Add new points tool
b. Digitize a line by pointing in the display and left-clicking. Add a point in the
grid cell closed to the project boundary to make sure the fault is extended all
the way to the boundary.
4. The polygon is stored at the bottom of the Input pane. Rename it to Fault
polygon by opening the Settings for it and changing the name in the Info tab.
5. Make sure the 3D Grid is selected on the Models pane.
6. Right-click on the polygon you just made, and select Create simulation (grid)
fault from the drop-down menu. The new fault is stored in the Faults folder
under the simple grid on the Models pane.
4. Aquifer
4.1 Adding an Aquifer (Optional Exercise)
1. Open a 2D window and display one of the horizons along with the faults of your
upscaled grid from the Models pane.
2. Activate the Make/edit polygons process from the Utilities folder in the
Processes pane.
4. Draw a polygon which encloses the eastern part of the model. Use the Close
selected polygon
5. The new polygon is stored on the Input pane. Rename it to Aquifer boundary.
6. Make sure the Upscaled grid is active on the Models pane.
7. Go to processes pane, and open the Make aquifer process located under
Simulation.
8. Select Create new; Select an Aquifer model. Name it Cat1.
9. In the Connections tab, select the Aquifer boundary polygon on the Input pane,
and drop it into the Area of interest field by clicking the blue arrow
10. For exercise, select Grid edges as Drive direction. Make the compass connect to
the cell faces from all directions except from South.
11. Under Vertical extent, select a Top limit of the oil-water contact.
12. Go to the Properties tab, type in a datum. Leave the other settings defaulted.
13. Click Apply to save the aquifer model, leave the dialog box open.
14. Display the grid in a 3D window.
15. Go to the Models pane, you will find the newly created aquifer under the
Upscaled grid > Aquifer folder. Toggle on the new aquifer. The cell faces
connected to the aquifer are displayed in the 3D window.
16. Make a second aquifer using the same procedure as in steps 8 through 12. Name
the aquifer Cat2. The only difference between the two should be external radius.
Increase the radius 100 times. We want to check the effect of the size of the
water reservoir on the water production from well P07.
17. Click OK. Save the project.
5. Observed Data
5.1 Create Observed Data File
1. Use the data from well build-up and drawdown history.
2. Open a new notepad and copy the following format:
3. Now insert the well build-up and drawdown history data using the arrangement
based on the sixth line.
4. The history data is in field unit. Take note that we will use the metric unit in
Petrel. Do a data conversion before you insert into the notepad.
5. Save the file as VOL File.
6. History matching
6.1 Make history development strategy
1. To create a history strategy, you will use the Make development strategy
process.
2. Expand the Simulation folder in the Process pane and open the Make
development strategy process.
3. Select Create new development strategy.
4. Click the Use presets button, and select History strategy from the drop-down
menu.
5. Name the new strategy.
6. Observe on the Strategy tree; note that the observed data set and the wells
have been inserted automatically; the start date and the end date for
simulation were extracted from observed data set.
7. Remove all the wells except for A10 in the wells folder.
8. Find the Rules folder in the Strategy tree (the left pane of the Make
development strategy process dialog) and click the History rate control
(Wells folder) rule.
9. Check all the parameters for the history rate control and click OK to save the
history development strategy.
10. The new Development strategies folder is at the bottom of the input pane.
