Introduction to ECLIPSE 100

ECLIPSE 100 is a fully-implicit, three phase, three dimensional, general purpose black oil simulator with gas condensate option.

•Program is written in FORTRAN77 and operate on any computer with an ANSI-standard FORTRAN77 compiler and with sufficient memory.

•ECLIPSE 100 can be used to simulate 1, 2 or 3 phase systems. Two phase options (oil/water, oil/gas, gas/water) are solved as two component systems saving both computer storage and computer time. In addition to gas dissolving in oil (variable bubble point pressure or gas/oil ratio), ECLIPSE 100 may also be used to model oil vaporizing in gas (variable dew point pressure or oil/gas ratio).

•Both corner-point and conventional block-center geometry options are available in ECLIPSE. Radial and Cartesian block-center options are available in 1, 2 or 3 dimensions. A 3D radial option completes the circle allowing flow to take place across the 0/360 degree interface.

How to start?

•To run simulation you need an input file with all data
concerning reservoir and process of its exploitation.

•Input data for ECLIPSE is prepared in free format using a keyword system. Any standard editor may be used to prepare the input file. Alternatively ECLIPSE Office may be used to prepare data interactively through panels, and submit runs.

•The name of input file has to be in the following format: FILENAME.DATA

Analytical and numerical solutions of simple one-dimensional, one-phase flow equations
As an introduction to reservoir simulation, we will review the simplest one-dimensional flow equations for
horizontal flow of one fluid, and look at analytical and numerical solutions of pressure as function of position
and time. These equations are derived using the continuity equation, Darcy's equation, and compressibility
definitions for rock and fluid, assuming constant permeability and viscosity. They are the simplest equations we
can have, which involve transient fluid flow inside the reservoir.
Linear flow
Consider a simple horizontal slab of porous material, where initially the pressure everywhere is P0 , and then at
time zero, the left side pressure (at x = 0 ) is raised to PL while the right side pressure (at x = L) is kept at
PR = P0 . The system is shown on the next figure:

Partial differential equation (PDE)
The linear, one dimensional, horizontal, one phase, partial differential flow equation for a liquid, assuming
constant permeability, viscosity and compressibility is:

Transient vs. steady state flow
The equation above includes time dependency through the right hand side term. Thus, it can describe transient, or
time dependent flow. If the flow reaches a state where it is no longer time dependent, we denote the flow as steady
state. The equation then simplifies to:

Transient and steady state pressure distributions are illustrated graphically in the figure below for a system where
initial and right hand pressures are equal. As can be observed, for some period of time, depending on the properties
of the system, the pressure will increase in all parts of the system (transient solution), for then to approach a final
distribution (steady state), described by a straight line between the two end pressures.

Analytical solution to the linear PDE
The analytical solution of the transient pressure development in the slab is then given by:

It may be seen from the solution that as time becomes large, the exponential term approaches zero, and the
solution becomes:

This is, of course, the solution to the steady state equation above.
Radial flow (Well test equation)
An alternative form of the simple one dimensional, horizontal flow equation for a liquid, is the radial equation that
frequently is used for well test interpretation. In this case the flow area is proportional to r2, as shown in the
following figure:

The one-dimensional (radial) flow equation in this coordinate system becomes
