  • Publication number: 20240086600
    Abstract: A global fluid identity repository is used to maintain and manage fluid characterization data for various fluids utilized in the oil & gas industry, e.g., reservoir fluids within subsurface formations. Tracking and notification services may be utilized to track changes made to a global fluid identity, e.g., changes in fluid sample and/or experiment data for a fluid, and automatically generate notifications when downstream data such as fluid models and/or simulation results become stale as a result of these changes.

  • Publication number: 20220253580
    Abstract: Fluid modeling methods and systems are provided for predicting phase behavior of petroleum fluids using a computational model that employs pseudo-components of varying carbon numbers that represent asphaltenes, asphaltene-like hydrocarbon, and non-asphaltene hydrocarbons. The computational model models the phase equilibria of the mixture of components with mixing rules that employ binary interaction parameters determined from correlations that involve certain properties or parameters associated with respective pseudo-component pairs as input variables. The binary interaction parameters are tuned by adjusting at least one parameter of the respective correlations based on matching at least one measured property of one or more petroleum fluids to a corresponding property predicted by the computational model for the one or more petroleum fluids. The tuned values for the binary interaction parameters can be stored as part of the computational model for subsequent fluid modeling.

  • Publication number: 20180156014
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program product manage model dependencies in a petroleum simulation environment. Version data is maintained both for a model or data set used by a first simulation application and for a dependent model used by a second simulation application and based upon the model or data set used by the first simulation application. After the model or data set used by the first simulation application is updated, as well as the version data therefor, a determination is made as to whether the dependent model is antiquated based upon the version data maintained for the dependent model and the version data for the updated model or data set used by the first simulation application.
