Accurate Simulation of Injectivity Decline
Propag accurately simulates the decline in injectivity in water injection wells, helping to predict well performance over time.
We developed the Propagsoftware for Petrobras to simulate and evaluate the decline in injectivity in water-injection wells over time due to damage caused by water injected impurities.
Besides assessing well injectivity over time, the software also models the geomechanical stress field as the fracture propagates, and simulates the geometry of the fracture and the propagation pressure over time. The simulator allows for a number of variable input parameters including injected water quality, reservoir and fluid thermal properties, porosity-permeability features, geomechanical modeling and well completion.
Propag has a finite element based numerical kernel, can simulate both horizontal and vertical wells, and the simulation performs a coupled well-reservoir flow response in the same mathematical model, which greatly increases the simulation accuracy of the flow distribution along the extension of the well during the injection process.

The software models geomechanical stress and simulates fracture geometry and propagation pressure, offering insights into well integrity and performance.
Propag allows for a wide range of variable input parameters, including water quality and reservoir properties, ensuring that the simulation can be customized to specific well conditions.
By coupling the well-reservoir flow response in a single model, Propag enhances the accuracy of flow distribution simulation during the injection process.
Propag supports both horizontal and vertical wells, making it a versatile tool for simulating various well types and optimizing water injection operations across different field configurations.
