Abstract:
System and methods of simulating fluid production in a multi-reservoir system with a common surface network are provided. Black oil data is matched with an equation of state (EOS) model representing different fluid components of each reservoir in the multi-reservoir system. The black oil data is converted into a two-component black oil model for each reservoir, based on the EOS model. Fluid production in the multi-reservoir system is simulated for at least one simulation point in the common surface network, based in part on the two-component black oil model of each reservoir. When fluids produced at the simulation point are determined to be from different reservoirs, properties of the fluids are calculated based on weaved EOS models of the different reservoirs. Otherwise, properties of the fluids are calculated using the two-component black oil model for the reservoir from which the fluids are produced.
