| Resumen | Transcripción del resumen del autor. Polymers are often injected into horizontal wells during enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes. During injection of these high-viscosity, non-Newtonian polymers, a significant pressure drop may occur along the length of the well. Accurate models for pressure drop in the well and polymer leakage into the reservoir are necessary for simulation but presently do not exist. We developed new, approximate models for pressure in horizontal wells based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling of coupled well/reservoir flow. Here, the polymer is shear-thinning in the wellbore and may exhibit viscoelastic effects (such as shear-thickening behavior) in the surrounding reservoir. The CFD results are used to improve existing analytical models for simple, Newtonian flows. The closed-form model accounts for fluid, well, and reservoir properties and can easily be implemented into conventional reservoir simulators. The CFD-based model was directly implemented into the reservoir simulator UTCHEM to evaluate the effect of pressure loss in the well on sweep efficiency. Early times (less than 100 days) yielded a significant loss in oil recovery when compared to the uniform-pressure assumption for the well. However, at later times the recovery loss was negligible, suggesting a uniform-pressure well may be a reasonable assumption at these time scales, even for highly-viscous polymer fluids |
