tNavigator is a software that performs reservoir simulations as well as other offering advanced tools for geoscience, reservoir and production engineering. For this project we will be using tNavigator to asses the Volve Field.
For the first tutorial to introduce ourselves to tNavigator by providing a bried overview of the geology designer tab. In this tutorial we covered
Project creation
Overview of the main areas of the interface
Coordinate systems Import of objects & Default coordinate directions
Visualization settings
The main focus of tutorial 2.2 was to learn how to import wells, perform well logs, horizons, markers, point sets and faults. In addition to learning to import this data, we cleaned the data and performed quality control. We also applied some principles from the previous tutorial.
The tNavigator Geology Designer was be used to map the Volve Field by visualizing well paths and geological structures based on available survey data. This tool enables the creation of detailed 3D models, displaying the spatial arrangement of wells and subsurface features. By incorporating geological data into these models, tNavigator provides an effective way to analyze well trajectories, identify potential collision risks, and optimize drilling operations, even for decommissioned fields like Volve.
The PVT Designer was used to analyze and model PVT properties of fluids from the Volve Field. By inputting field-specific fluid data, this tool helps in understanding the reservoir’s fluid behavior under different conditions. This analysis is crucial for optimizing production strategies and assessing reservoir performance, providing valuable insights into the Volve Field’s historical operation and potential future applications.
