Typical Consulting Projects
PVT consultant on project involving multiple fields.
Advising on PVT related matters. Quality check of PVT data and evaluation / development of single and common EoS models. Focus on consistent PVT description in reservoir, network and process simulation.
Effect of gas lift on wax deposition in a well.
Carrying out simulations to evaluate the effect of flow rate and lift gas temperature on the outlet temperature and wax deposition in a well. Heat exchange between lift gas and well stream was also investigated.
Reservoir initialization project.
Non-equilibrium initialization of a reservoir grid model based on interpolation / extrapolation of known reservoir fluid samples. The model honors the established depth of a gas-oil-contact and horizontal variation in reservoir fluid composition.
