Guided Interpretation #10 B10 - 9/12
An important difference between the segmented model and the energy equation model is that the
latter accounts for the pressure and temperature change within the layers. In other words we do
not rely on the definition of some pressure drop but instead, we need to enter the layer
properties.
The calculation needs the overall pressure drop in the layer. This can either be input directly or
else, computed using a steady state pseudo-skin equation. This computation is influenced by the
layer thickness, the position of the perforations within the layers, and the well deviation within the
layers. When entering the model without reservoir zones, a default creation is made with reservoir
zones corresponding exactly to the perfos. In a standard situation, you should define the reservoir
zones beforehand. We will correct this afterwards.
