Chapter 6 Fluid Flow and Recovery
Abstract
In the previous chapter, we discussed the reservoir properties and numerical reservoir simulation in detail; however, the bases of numerical reservoir simulation are fluid flow and the material balance equations, which determine the flow of fluids in the reservoir and govern the recovery factor. These equations are used by reservoir engineers for interpreting and predicting reservoir performance.
