3 1 Description 1.1 Case study In this tutorial we will perform a depletion analysis of the Fulmar oilfield reservoir located in the North Sea (see [Fig. 1]) and presented in [Fig. 2]. This is a layer-cake 3D model with the mesh being built from realistic geology data about the depth profile of the different geological formations. Here, we will use the Be zier approximation tool in for the modeling of the horizons of the geological layers. The whole soil model consists of 5 layers: Sediments (Overburden) Chalk Kimmeridge sediments Fulmar (i.e., the reservoir) Pentland chalk kimmeridge fulmar pentland Figure 1: Location of the Fulmar oilfield.

4 1.2 Geometry of the reservoir The solid model has the dimensions of 7800 x 6800 x 8955 m [Fig. 3]. The horizon-depths of the layers separating the different geological formations will be retrieved from an excel file containing the z coordinates of each layer. These values are associated to a regular grid on the xy-plane mode of cells with dimensions of 250 x 250 m. The dimension of the grid is x m. By importing this data in, we will approximate the separation layers of the geological formations with Bézier surfaces [Fig. 4] m 7800 m 6800 m Figure 3: dimensions of the reservoir Figure 4: Bézier surface approximating the measured depths (blue symbols) of the separation layer between the chalk and kimmeridge layers Depletion Analysis of an Oilfield 4/40
5 1.3 Soil material properties For the sake of simplicity we assume that the 5 formations are linear elastic with equal mechanical properties, as listed in [Table 1]. Young s modulus (Drained) 1 GPa Poisson s ratio (Drained) 0.15 Density of dry soil 2000 kg/m 3 Porosity 0.5 Lateral pressure ratio 0.6 Table 1: Material properties of the soil 1.4 Modeling strategy The following considerations were taken into account: the geometry of the model is based on the Bézier approximation of the horizons depths. The depth values are defined according to a regular planar grid on the xy-plane with cells of size 250 x 250 m; the lateral faces of the 3D model are constrained to normal displacement; the water pressure will be assigned only to the portion of the Fulmar layer (i.e., the reservoir) at z m; the depletion stage will be defined through the gradient of pressure in the reservoir; the 3D model will be discretized with hexagonal finite elements; although the soil is linear elastic, a nonlinear structural analysis is performed to model the initial stress state of the soil. Depletion Analysis of an Oilfield 5/40
6 2 Finite Element Model For the modeling session we start a new project with structural analysis. The dimensions of the domain for the 3D model are set to 100 km. Linear hexagonal finite elements will be used in the analysis. Main menu File New [Fig. 5] Figure 5: New project dialog Depletion Analysis of an Oilfield 6/40

8 2.2 Geometry definition We create 4 curved sheets that correspond to the top surface of the first 4 formations (starting from the bottom layer). We start with Chalk by importing the z coordinates of the corresponding layer from the excel spreadsheet shown in [Fig. 8]. Based on this data, a Bézier surface is built in using the add curved sheet command ([Fig. 9]). Excel Chalk spreadsheet select & copy the coordinates table [Fig. 8] Main menu Geometry Create Add curved sheet Paste [Fig. 9] Figure 8: Excel spreadsheet with depths values of the Chalk top surface Figure 9: Add surface - Chalk surface The tolerance value in [Fig. 9] defines the maximum admissible distance between the provided list of points and the approximating Bézier surface.

13 It is also possible to import all surfaces at the same time by importing a CSV file with the format presented in [Fig. 17].

16 We rename the new shapes [Fig. 25] as their corresponding layer names [Fig. 28]. For the Pentland layer, we will need to unite 7 shapes (sse [Fig. 26]) that were formed in the previous step.

18 2.3 Properties We assign the properties to the soil layers. Because we model a 3D structure using structural solid elements, we do not have to define Geometry properties. We will use the default integration scheme, thus no Data set is required.

19 2.4 Boundary conditions Constraints All the lateral faces of the model are supported in its normal direction. We start with constraining in the x-direction the side faces aligned with the y-axis. In order to easily select these faces we choose the top view of the model and select the faces as shown in [Fig. 37].

22 2.4.2 Load Dead weight We create a load case for the dead weight in order to be taken into account in the analysis. Main Menu Geometry Analysis Global load [Fig. 44] Figure 44: Global load - dead weight Depletion Analysis of an Oilfield 22/40
23 Pore pressure load An initial pore pressure of 8e7 N/m 2 will be applied to those parts of the reservoir (i.e., the Fulmar oilfield) higher than the gas-water contact at m depth. For this we create a function dependent on the z-coordinate. Main Menu Geometry Functions Add [Fig. 45] Figure 45: Add function Depletion Analysis of an Oilfield 23/40
24 We can now set a load case for the initial pressure. Main Menu Geometry Analysis Attach load [Fig. 46] Figure 46: Attach load - Initial pressure Depletion Analysis of an Oilfield 24/40
25 For the depletion stage, we define a change of pressure of -6e7 N/m 2 to the reservoir. Main Menu Geometry Analysis Attach load [Fig. 47] Figure 47: Attach load - Pressure change Depletion Analysis of an Oilfield 25/40
26 2.4.3 Load combinations Finally, we create the load combinations. Since we will perform an incremental analysis, in the first load combination we consider the weight of the soil and the initial pressure. In the second load combination, we only consider the change of pressure.

30 We set up the load combination for the start step and add the physic nonlinear options for the stress initialization. Accordingly, we will suppress superpositions effects so that strains and displacements will be reset to zero at the end of the start-step. At the same time, we initialize a stress filed in the soil that will be in equilibrium with its self-weight and the initial pressure (Load combination 1).

33 4 Results 4.1 Vertical stresses We make a contour plot of the vertical stresses SZZ to see the vertical pressure in the model before depletion. For better visualization, the limits of the contour plot are set to -1.74e+08 and -2.31e+06 N/m 2 (see [Fig. 65]) that are the minimum and maximum stresses on the lateral surface of the model.

34 4.2 Pore pressure We check the contour plot of the pore pressure PR in the soil. The limits of the contour plot are set to 0 and 8e+07 N/m 2 that are the minimum and maximum value, respectively, that PR achieves in the reservoir (see [Fig. 65]).

35 Figure 69: Pore pressure (PR) - Start-step 1 Figure 70: Pore pressure (PR) - Load-step 2 As shown in [Fig. 65], the pore pressure in the Fulmar layer (i.e., the reservoir) is above zero only for z 4950 m. This is a consequence of the load pressure function defined in [Fig. 45]. In the depletion stage [Fig. 70], the lower pore pressure is a result of the pressure change of -6e+07 N/m 2 defined in [Fig. 47]. Depletion Analysis of an Oilfield 35/40
36 4.3 Vertical strains We create a clipping plane to plot the total strain in vertical direction EZZ [Fig. 73]. The plane is located at the coordinates (4340, 0, 0) m. Moreover, for a better understanding of the deformation phenomena around the reservoir, we set the minimum and maximum limit of the contour plot to and , respectively.

37 We now plot the threshold value scale to view positive and negative strain increments. This will highlight the effects induced by the depletion stage in the model.

Depletion Analysis of an Oilfield 37/40
38 4.4 Change in vertical stresses We plot the stress changes on the clipping plane after depletion. In this case we set the color scale limits to a minimum of -9+e07 and a maximum of -8e+07. The change in stresses are checked both for effective and total stresses.
