We want to share some excel spreadsheets about basic reservoir simulation and waterflooding based on Abou-Kassem et. al. (2006) and Willhite (1986)

ARS (Cartesian)

ARS is a basic reservoir simulation spreadsheet. With ARS you can do examples considering the follow features:

-One dimension
-One phase (oil)
-Incompressible or Slightly compressible fluid
-Rock porosity constant or depending of pressure
-5 different types of boundary conditions
-One well (specified production rate or specified flowing pressure)

Academic Reservoir Simulator (1D - radial)

With ARS (1D - radial) you can do examples considering the follow features:

-One dimension in radial coordinates -One phase (oil) -Slightly compressible fluid -Rock porosity constant or depending of pressure -4 different types of boundary conditions -Well with specified production rate or specified flowing pressure)

ARS (1D - radial-Fractured)

ARS (1D - radial-Fractured) is part of a serie of basic reservoir simulation spreadsheets. With ARS (1D - radial-Fractured) you can do examples considering the follow features:

Naturally fractured reservoir (Warren and Root model) One dimension in radial coordinates One phase (oil) Slightly compressible fluid Rock porosity depending of pressure 4 different types of boundary conditions Well with specified production rate or specified flowing pressure)

You will need the petrophysics properties of matrix and fracture (Porosity, compressibility, permeability and matrix-fracture shape fracture). You have the option to use a constant or variable time step.

In the follow image you can observe the double slope expected from the Warren and Root model.

Academic WaterFlooding (AWF)

AWF is part of a serie of basic reservoir engineering spreadsheets. With AWD you can do examples using thw Buckley-Leverett model and Welge solution estimating the displacement performance for a linear waterflood at constant injection rate.The necessary data is shown in the next picture.

AWF calculates the Sw at breakthrough and generates three differents charts:

-Sw vs fw -time vs Qo -x vs Sw

Also it calculates Np, WOR and Qo at differents times. Download it and tell us what you think.
