1 BACKGROUND !

Unconventional Reservoir Modeling

3 METHODOLOGY!

CHOPS sometimes goes with foamy oil phenomena. It is very complex to establish math Model when happened that gas moves with oil together as one apparent phase where tiny gas bubbles dispersed in oil. Therefore it is difcult job to nd better way simulate properties of foamy oil, owing to variability of its gas phase behavior.
!
2 Why / PURPOSE!

Nucleation Rate depend on over saturation of gas resolve in oil that is difference of saturation pressure and system pressure;! Bubble growth rate has been controlled by over saturation, surface tension and system pressure;! Bubble will collapse when it hit critical size.!
4 RESULTS!

Nucleation Rate:
Singe bubble growth Rate:

Nc = A exp(

B ) 2 P s

Singe bubble growth Rate:

dr 3HRTD( Ps 2 / r ) = dt 3Po r +4

To build a foamy oil PVT package based on simulation of bubble generation and evolution, and try to create possibility that modeling of CHOPS could be with concept of Black Oil Model.
