Reservoir pressure variation in time and space in response to production / injection activity
The usual classifications are summarised below:
Number of phases | Number of wells | Solver type |
---|---|---|
Single-phase pressure diffusion model | Single-well | Analytical |
Multi-phase pressure diffusion model | Multi-well | Numerical |
In many practical cases the pressure diffusion processes honor PDE with constant coefficients which reveals opportunities to very efficient mathematical engines:
Time Convolution | Spatial Superposition |
Pressure convolution model | Pressure superposition model |
Pressure deconvolution model | Pressure decomposition model |
