In Chapter 10 Immiscible Displacement of Dake's "Fundamentals of Reservoir Engineering", he provides the following example.

 

General Input Data

Oil Density, gm/cc

0.81

Water Density, gm/cc

1.04

Oil viscosity [cP]

5

Water viscosity [cP]

0.5

Initial Oil FVF, Boi [rb/stb]

1.3

Current Oil FVF, Bo [rb/stb]

1.3

Water FVF, Bw [rb/stb]

1

Endpoint kro [fraction]

0.8

Endpoint krw [fraction]

0.3

Swc [fraction]

0.2

Sor [fraction]

0.2

Corey Oil Exponent

3

Corey Water Exponent

2

Porosity [fraction]

0.18

Permeability [mD]

2000

Reservoir Thickness [ft]

40

Reservoir Length [ft]

2000

Reservoir Width [ft]

625

Reservoir Dip [degrees]

0

Injection Rate [mstb/d]

1000

 

 

With regards to inputting relative permeability data, the user can choose between using Corey Exponents for Oil and Water curvature or inputting the table values directly. The example below assumes Corey Exponents are input.

 

Once the user has successfully input all the required data, as shown in the following screen capture, they can press the calculate button to calculate all stages of the performance prediction.

 

 

Diffuse Flow Results

 

The diffuse flow condition results are in the form of tables of Welge calculations and production profile, together with charts of Welge fractional flow and production profiles comparing both the diffuse and segregated flow conditions.

 

Note that all data within the tables can be output to the clipboard by pressing CTRL+C

 

 

 

Segregated Flow Results

 

The segregated flow condition results are in the form of tables of Dake calculations and production profile, together with a production profile chart comparing both the diffuse and segregated flow conditions.

 

Note that all data within the tables can be output to the clipboard by pressing CTRL+C
