Abstract:
Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to reservoir simulation modeling using upon rock compaction tables derived from physical pore compressibility tests. The illustrative methods transform rock mechanics-based pore compressibility tests into compliant rock compaction tables for reservoir simulators using Dimensionless Stress to Pore Pressure Conversion, to thereby transfer geomechanical changes due to confining stress into expressions of geomechanical changes due to pore pressure.
