Reservoir Simulation Co-Op Student
- Modeled SAGD wells & reservoirs using CMG STARS- Analyzed the feasibility of using CMG STARS’ Flexwell in 3D forecasting & history matching simulations, looking at accuracy/comparability of results, numerical stability, ease of set-up, and runtime for various model set-ups - Provided an executive recommendation on the use & implementation of STARS’ Flexwell for future reservoir simulation work- Performed a variety of wellbore-specific case studies using STARS’ Flexwell to see possible effects on SAGD performance- Used STARS’ Flexwell to simulate the circulation phase of newly starting wells, analyzing SAGD conversion criteria & circulation optimization, as well as simulating real-life operational events such as pressure/fluid communication between wells & temperature fall-off tests
