  • Method for modelling the production of hydrocarbons by a subsurface deposit which are subject to depletion
    Patent number: 7343275
    Abstract: A method for forming a model simulating production, by an underground reservoir subject to depletion, of hydrocarbons comprising notably relatively high-viscosity oils. From laboratory measurements of the respective volumes of oil and gas produced by rock samples from the reservoir subject to depletion, and the relative permeabilities (Kr) of rock samples to hydrocarbons, a model of the formation and flow of the gas fraction is used to determine a volume transfer coefficient (hv) by means of an empirical function representing the distribution of nuclei that can be activated at a pressure P (function N(P)) which is calibrated with reference to the previous measurements.
