In view of the immature technologies for EGS, the US has funded a total of 0.22 billion USD from 2007 to 2013 to develop innovative exploration, reservoir stimulation, and sustainable reservoir technologies and economic analysis models for the commercialization of EGS.
We conducted a study at Stratton Field, a large gas-producing property in Kleberg and Nueces Counties in south Texas, to determine how to best integrate geophysics, geology, and reservoir engineering technologies to detect thin-bed compartmented reservoirs in a fluvially deposited reservoir system.
Florida, where underground-reservoir technology has been used for several decades, faced some early struggles with arsenic in the water, and other challenges as well.
In recent years, new advancements have been achieved in the reservoir description, reservoir engineering design, well drilling technology, well completion technology and producing technology for thin-layer reservoirs, high-cut-water thick-layer positive rhythm reservoirs, buried hill heavy oil reservoirs, extra-heavy oil reservoirs, and complicated fault-block reservoirs.
This project will contribute to the development of future commercial CCUS projects in the United States by demonstrating all aspects of an actual commercial CCUS field operation, including effective reservoir engineering, monitoring, and simulation technologies.
"The best thing that BP can contribute to Rosneft is reservoir management technology," Mr. West said.
Last, using the reservoir numerical technology, this method is verified to be valid and accurate.
To help handle the above challenges, hydro-geochemical approaches and reservoir simulation technology are extremely important for the hydrothermal reservoirs.
The optimization method is used in a synthetic model, using the reservoir simulation technology; the results of the simulation proved the validation and accuracy.
