Spatial pressure

By associating aquifer gradients (Fig. 12) with first-order spatial pressure domains and depth of burial, aquifer pressures for individual prospects can be predicted. Retention capacity as dictated by the pressure difference between the reservoir aquifer pressure and seal pore-pressure or fracture envelope can then estimated. The critical stage in this method is the selection of the correct aquifer pressure. Of the other variables required, the crestal elevation of the prospect is usually known with a reasonable degree of confidence, and seal pore-pressures are coincident with the fracture gradient which in turn is confirmed by measured (LOT/FIT) data. Application of this method within the GEA suggests that pre-Cretaceous seals retain hydrocarbon columns within the range from 200 to over 750 m.

Humans receive and combine two types of perceptual information when touching and manipulating objects. Kinesthetic information describes the relative positions and movements of body parts as well as muscular effort. Muscle and skin receptors are primarily responsible for kinesthesis joint receptors serve primarily as protective Hmit switches [Rabischong, 1981]. Tactile information describes spatial pressure patterns on the skin given a fixed body position. Everyday touch perception combines tactile and kinesthetic information this combination is called tactual or haptic perception. Loomis and Lederman [1986] provide an excellent review of these perceptual mechanisms. 

Because of a paucity of adequate tactual display technology, spatial pressure information from a robot or remote manipulator is usually displayed to the operator visually A three-dimensional bar graph, for example, could show the two-dimensional pressure pattern on the gripper. While easy to implement, this method suffers from two disadvantages (1) the visual channel is required to process more information (it is often already heavily burdened), and (2) reaction time is lengthened, because the normal human tactual reflex systems are inhibited. An advantage of visual display is that accurate measurements of force and pressure may be displayed numerically or graphically...

Numerical stability. Nothing strikes greater fear in simulation than instabilities. Numerical instabilities manifest themselves through unrealistic oscillations in pressure buildup or drawdown curves, wiggly spatial pressure distributions that lead to infinities and overflow. How can they be avoided One useful tool is the von Neumann stability test, after John von Neumann, the computer pioneer who advanced finite difference methods in the 1950s. Numerical analysts employ these tests to evaluate candidate algorithms before code development begins. Consider the heat equation u = u, for u = u(x,t). We... 

Equations 17-14a to 17-14f completely define the spatial pressure distributions 3vithin Layers 1, 2, and 3. Ho3vever, the solutions to the invasion problem are as yet incomplete because the positions and > are unknown time-dependent functions that satisfy other constraints. Consider the mudcake first. Our previous differential equation for cake growth can be evaluated as... 

P2= P2= this matching condition reduces to pj j - 2pj - + Vif+ 0= which is identical to Equation 20-15 for the exact differential equation. This fortuitous situation does not apply to compressible transient flows or radial flows. This completes our discussion for the solution of Equations 20-25 to 20-28 for the spatial pressure distribution, which assumes that the front loeation is...

The basic element of SL simulation is its dual-grid approach. The traditional static (Eulerian) grid is used to specify petrophysical properties, well locations and rates, and initial conditions, and to solve for the spatial pressure distributions using an implicit pressure exphcit saturation (IMPES) formulation. The dynamic (Lagrangian) grid represented by the SLs, on the other hand, is used to solve the hyperbohc equations that govern the transport of chemical species.
