    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a system for generating suggested routing for waste fluid from a source component to a sink component that can use the waste fluid in a fluid process according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, the system is configured to determine usability of the waste fluid in various fluid processes by accessing contamination history from a fluid processes and calculating an acceptable amount of contamination to use in a different fluid process. The system is configured to provide different types of waste fluid from different processes at various flowrates to one or more sink components to ensure contamination thresholds for the sink processes are not violated according to some embodiments.

    Abstract: A method for modeling fluid flow in a wellbore is provided. Hydraulic fracturing is an effective technique to improve well productivity by forming high permeable pathways for hydrocarbons to flow from the rock formation to the wellbore. Fluid flow for hydraulic fracturing is modeled using separated flow components, including a wellbore component (modeling the wellbore(s)), a perforation component (modeling the perforations(s)), a fracture component (modeling the fracture(s)) and a rock component (modeling the rock). Each respective component may be selected independently from a plurality of available components. Further, the respective components may be coupled to one another only at their interfaces, such as at a wellbore-perforation interface, a perforation-fracture interface, and a fracture-rock interface, for continuity of fluid kinematics and properties (such as pressure and density). In this way, the modeling of the subsurface may be tailored to the respective components in order to effectively predict the fracturing treatment.
