Peaceman Well Block Problem For Time-Dependent Flows of Compressible Fluid
share
We consider sewing machinery between finite difference and analytical solutions defined at different scales: far away and near the source of the perturbation of the flow. One of the essences of the approach is that coarse problem and boundary value problem in the proxy of the source model two different flows. In his remarkable paper Peaceman propose a framework how to deal with solutions defined on different scale for linear time independent problem by introducing famous, Peaceman well block radius. In this article we consider novel problem how to solve this issue for transient flow generated by compressiblity of the fluid. We are proposing method to glue solution via total fluxes, which is predefined on coarse grid and changes in the pressure, due to compressibility, in the block containing production(injection) well. It is important to mention that the coarse solution "does not see" boundary. From industrial point of view our report provide mathematical tool for analytical interpretation of simulated data for compressible fluid flow around a well in a porous medium. It can be considered as a mathematical "shirt" on famous Peaceman well-block radius formula for linear (Darcy) transient flow but can be applied in much more general scenario. In the article we use Einstein approach to derive Material Balance equation, a key instrument to define R_0. We will enlarge Einstein approach for three regimes of the Darcy and non-Darcy flows for compressible fluid(time dependent): I. Stationary ; II. Pseudo Stationary(PSS) ; III. Boundary Dominated(BD).
