Software for Estimation of Stochastic Model Parameters for a Compacting Reservoir

Wojciech T. Witkowski and Ryszard Hejmanowski    

Resumen

The paper presents a computer program called SubCom v1.0 for determining mathematical model parameters of compaction layers in areas of oil, gas or groundwater extraction. A stochastic model based on the influence function was used to model compaction and subsidence. Estimation of the model parameters was based on solving the inverse problem. Two model parameters were determined: the compaction coefficient Cm of reservoir rocks, and the parameter tgß, which indirectly describes the mechanical properties of the overburden. The calculations were performed on leveling measurements of land subsidence, as well as on the geometry of the compaction layer and pressure changes in aquifers. The estimation of model parameters allows the prediction of surface deformations due to planned fluid extraction. An algorithm with a graphical user interface was implemented in the Scilab environment. The use of SubCom v1.0 is presented using the case of an underground hard coal mine. Water drainage from rock mass accompanying coal extraction resulted in compaction of the aquifer, which in turn led to additional surface subsidence. As a result, a subsidence trough occurred with a maximum subsidence of 0.56 m.
