Fluid flow monitoring in oilfields using downhole measurements of electrokinetic potential
, Geophysics, Vol: 73, Pages: E165-E180Downhole measurements of electrokinetic potential are a promising new technology for hydrocarbon reservoir monitoring. Using a 3Dfinite-element model combining both multiphase flow and electrokinetic components, we investigated the behavior of electrokinetic (streaming) potential during oil production in a range of reservoir environments. We found that streaming-potential signals originate at fluid fronts and at geologic boundaries where fluid saturation changes. As water encroaches on an oil production well, the streaming-potential signal associated with the water front encompasses the well even when the front is up to 100 m away, so the potential measured at the well starts to change significantly relative to a distant reference electrode. Variations in the geometry of the encroaching water front can be characterized using an array of electrodes positioned along the well, but a good understanding of the local reservoir geology is required to identify signals caused by the front. The streaming potential measured at a well is maximized in low-permeability reservoirs produced at a high rate and in thick reservoirs with low shale content. However, considerable uncertainties remain, particularly relating to the nature of electrokinetic coupling at high salinity and during multiphase flow. Our results suggest that the streaming potential at low salinity (10^-3–10^-4 mol/L) is large (100–1000 mV) but might become too small to resolve (<0.1) mV at high salinity (0.5–2 mol/L), depending on how the available data for the electrokinetic coupling at low salinity are extrapolated into the high-salinity domain. More work remains to determine the behavior of electrokinetic coupling and therefore the utility of this technique at high salinity.

High-order compact scheme and its stability analysis for the pollutant diffusion equation
, Jisuan Lixue Xuebao/Chinese Journal of Computational Mechanics, Vol: 24, Pages: 790-794, ISSN: 1007-4708An explicit numerical method which has arbitrary order of accuracy in time was derived in this paper, including the analysis of the stability and the accuracy of the pollutant diffusion equation. The conventional explicit Forward Time Central Space scheme (FTCS) is the specific form with first order accuracy of the proposed method. The theoretical analysis demonstrated that the stable region would expand along with the increase of the order of accuracy and the proposed explicit method was unconditionally stable when remaining the infinite order of accuracy. Finally, the validity of the proposed method was tested by a numerical example and it is shown that the numerical results agree quite well with the anterior theoretical analysis. And it also reveals the relationship between the stability and the accuracy, and provides the advisory principle for the development of the high-performance computational schemes.

Compact explicit difference scheme of high accuracy for extended boussinesq equations
, China Ocean Engineering, Vol: 21, Pages: 507-514, ISSN: 0890-5487Presented here is a compact explicit difference scheme of high accuracy for solving the extended Boussinesq equations. For time discretization, a three-stage explicit Runge-Kutta method with TVD property is used at predicting stage, a cubic spline function is adopted at correcting stage, which made the time discretization accuracy up to fourth order; For spatial discretization, a three-point explicit compact difference scheme with arbitrary order accuracy is employed. The extended Boussinesq equations derived by Beji and Nadaoka are solved by the proposed scheme. The numerical results agree well with the experimental data. At the same time, the comparisons of the two numerical results between the present scheme and low accuracy difference method are made, which further show the necessity of using high accuracy scheme to solve the extended Boussinesq equations. As a valid sample, the wave propagation on the rectangular step is formulated by the present scheme, the modelled results are in better agreement with the experimental data than those of Kittitanasuan.

Three-point explicit compact difference scheme with arbitrary order of accuracy and its application in CFD
, Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (English Edition), Vol: 28, Pages: 943-953, ISSN: 0253-4827Based on the successive iteration in the Taylor series expansion method, a three-point explicit compact difference scheme with arbitrary order of accuracy is derived in this paper. Numerical characteristics of the scheme are studied by the Fourier analysis. Unlike the conventional compact difference schemes which need to solve the equation to obtain the unknown derivatives in each node, the proposed scheme is explicit and can achieve arbitrary order of accuracy in space. Application examples for the convection-diffusion problem with a sharp front gradient and the typical lid-driven cavity flow are given. It is found that the proposed compact scheme is not only simple to implement and economical to use, but also is effective to simulate the convection-dominated problem and obtain high-order accurate solution in coarse grid systems. © 2007 Editorial Committee of Appl.

High-order compact difference scheme for the regularized long wave equation
, Communications in Numerical Methods in Engineering, Vol: 23, Pages: 135-156, ISSN: 1069-8299A numerical simulation of the regularized long wave (RLW) equation is obtained using a high-order compact difference method, based on the fourth-order compact difference scheme in space and the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method in time integration. The method is tested on the problems of propagation of a solitary wave, interaction of two positive solitary waves, interaction of a positive and a negative solitary wave, the evaluation of Maxwellian pulse into stable solitary waves, the development of an undular bore and the solitary waves induced by boundary motion. The three invariants of the motion are calculated to determine the conservation properties of the algorithm. L2 and L∞ error norms are used to measure differences between the exact and numerical solutions. The results obtained by proposed method are compared with those of other recently published methods and shown to be more accurate and efficient. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

3D frequency domain waveform inversion - Synthetic shallow channel example
, 69th European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers Conference and Exhibition 2007: Securing The Future. Incorporating SPE EUROPEC 2007, Vol: 2, Pages: 893-897We are presenting a first example of 3D frequency domain acoustic inversion applied to a synthetics data over a shallow channel. High resolution images are obtained in less than a day CPU time using inexpensive hardware by utilizing a point iterative solver for wave equation modelling part of the code and multi shot approach. Tests have shown that it is possible to combine multiple shot positions and reduce time required for computation dramatically. Final recovered velocities are within 4% of the true velocity once and spatial positioning I quite well. We did not use any apriori information on anomaly position nor size.

, 69th European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers Conference and Exhibition 2007: Securing The Future. Incorporating SPE EUROPEC 2007, Vol: 2, Pages: 888-892We have developed an efficient iterative solver for the 3D, two-way, acoustic wave equation, and demonstrate its use for 3D wavefield tomography on a synthetic seismic model. Using composite shots for the tomography, the method is sufficiently fast that it can be used to image realistic-sized field datasets.

Numerical modeling of tides in the late Pennsylvanian Midcontinent seaway of North America with implications for hydrography and sedimentation
, JOURNAL OF SEDIMENTARY RESEARCH, Vol: 77, Pages: 843-865, ISSN: 1527-1404A novel numerical model (the Imperial College Ocean Model, ICOM) is used to simulate tidal circulation in shallow epicontinental seas connected to large, open oceans. ICOM is validated using the present-day North Sea and applied to predict tidal range in the late Pennsylvanian Midcontinent Seaway (LPMS) of North America. The model simulates the effect of the principal tidal constituents (astronomical tides) as well as the tide propagating from the adjacent open ocean (co- oscillating tide). Two ‘‘base-case’’ Pennsylvanian paleogeographies were tested: (1) a maximum sea-level highstand and (2) the early stages of a transgression. Sensitivity tests determined the importance of paleo-water depth and coastline uncertainty on the prediction of tidal range. During the highstand, tidal ranges in the craton interior (Midcontinent Shelf, Illinois and Appalachian basins) are consistently predicted as microtidal (, 2 m tidal range). Such low tidal ranges would have inhibited water-body mixing in the LPMS, promoting stratification. This, combined with the influx of oxygen-poor water from the Permian Basin to the west and high organic input from tropical rivers, may have contributed to the deposition of ‘‘core’’ black shales in LPMS cyclothems. Conversely, a mesotidal to macrotidal diurnal (once-daily tide) regime is predicted for the early transgression in a large-scale embayment in eastern Kansas due to resonant amplification of diurnal tidal constituents. Pennsylvanian strata here have been ascribed to a mesotidal to macrotidal setting and include cyclic rhythmites that suggest a strongly diurnal system, as predicted by ICOM.

The symmetry and stability of unstructured mesh C-grid shallow water models under the influence of Coriolis
, Ocean Modelling, Vol: 16, Pages: 47-60, ISSN: 1463-5003The symmetry and stability properties of two unstructured C-grid discretisations of the shallow water equations are discussed. We establish that a scheme in which the circumcentres of the mesh triangles are used as the surface elevation points has advantageous symmetry properties and derive a Coriolis discretisation which preserves these properties. It is shown that the resulting scheme is conservative in a discretised energy norm. We then establish that schemes in which the water surface elevations are stored at the mesh triangle centroids do not share these advantageous symmetry properties. Finally we show examples which demonstrate that the centroid based scheme is subject to unstable growing modes, particularly in long timescale, Coriolis dominated problems; while the energy conservative circurricentre based scheme suffers from no such limitation. We conclude that unstructured C-grid methods using the triangle circumcentres and the conservative Coriolis scheme derived here therefore have advantages for this sort of problem over those schemes based on centroids.
