CRM – Single-Tank Capacitance Resistance Model
The
...
model equation is:
| LaTeX Math Block |
|---|
|
q^{\uparrow}(t) = f \, q^{\downarrow}(t) - \tau \cdot \frac{ d q^{\uparrow}}{ dt } - \beta \cdot \frac{d p_{wf}}{dt} |
where
| total surface production |
| total surface injection |
| average bottomhole pressure in producers |
| unitless constant, showing the share of injection which actually contributes to production |
| time-measure constant, related to well productivity [ s/Pa ] |
| storage-measure constant, related to reservoir volume and compressibility [ m3/Pa ] |
The
and constants are related to some primary well and reservoir characteristics:| LaTeX Math Block |
|---|
|
\beta = c_t \, V_\phi |
| LaTeX Math Block |
|---|
|
\tau = \frac{\beta}{J} = \frac{c_t V_\phi}{J} |
where
| total formation-fluid compressibility |
| drainable reservoir volume |
| total rock volume within the drainage area |
| average effective reservoir porosity |
| total fluid productivity index |
Total formation compressibility is a linear sum of reservoir/fluid components:
| LaTeX Math Block |
|---|
|
c_t = c_r + s_w c_w + s_o c_w + s_g c_g |
where
| rock compressibility |
| water, oil, gas compressibilities |
| water, oil, gas formation saturations |

| The first assumption of CRM is that productivity index of producers stays constant in time: | LaTeX Math Block |
|---|
| J = \frac{q_{\uparrow}(t)}{p_r(t) - p_{wf}(t)} = \rm const |
which can re-written as explicit formula for formation pressure: | LaTeX Math Block |
|---|
| p_r(t) = p_{wf}(t) + J^{-1} q_{\uparrow}(t) |
The second assumption is that drainage volume of producers-injectors system is finite and constant in time: | LaTeX Math Block |
|---|
| V_\phi = V_{rocks} \phi = \rm const |
The third assumption is that total formation-fluid compressibility stays constant in time: | LaTeX Math Block |
|---|
| c_t \equiv \frac{1}{V_{\phi}} \cdot \frac{dV_{\phi}}{dp} = \rm const |
which can be easily integrated: | LaTeX Math Block |
|---|
| V_{\phi}(t) =V^\circ_{\phi} \cdot \exp \big[ - c_t \cdot [p_i - p_r(t)] \big] |
where is field-average initial formation pressure, is initial drainage volume,
– field-average formation pressure at time moment , is drainage volume at time moment .
| LaTeX Math Block |
|---|
| \frac{dV_{\phi}}{dp} = c_t \, V_{\phi} \ \cdot |
The change in drainage volume is leading to formation pressure variation
| LaTeX Math Block |
|---|
| c_t \equiv \frac{1}{V_{\phi}} \cdot \frac{dV_{\phi}}{dp} = \frac{1}{V_{\phi}} \cdot \frac{1}{p_i - p_r(t) } \cdot \Bigg[ \int_0^t q_{\uparrow}(\tau) d\tau - f \int_0^t q_{\downarrow}(\tau) d\tau \Bigg] = \rm const |
The last equation can be rewritten as: | LaTeX Math Block |
|---|
| \int_0^t q_{\uparrow}(\tau) d\tau - f \int_0^t q_{\downarrow}(\tau) d\tau = c_t \, V_\phi \, [p_i - p_r(t)] |
and differentiated | LaTeX Math Block |
|---|
| q_{\uparrow}(\tau) = f q_{\downarrow}(\tau) - c_t \, V_\phi \, \frac{d p_r(t)}{d t} |
and substituting from productivity equation | LaTeX Math Block Reference |
|---|
|
:| LaTeX Math Block |
|---|
| q_{\uparrow}(\tau) = f q_{\downarrow}(\tau) - c_t \, V_\phi \, \bigg[ \frac{d p_{wf}(t)}{d t} + J^{-1} \frac{d q_{\uparrow}}{d t} \bigg] |
