Geothermal Reservoir Model Simulation
1. Data analysis and collection for reservoir simulation
• Geological data: rock type, geological structure (faults)
• Geochemical survey (type of fluid, upflow & outflow zone (fluid flow direction),temperature prediction, etc)
• Geophysical survey (geological structure, reservoir boundary or reservoir geometry, etc)
• Well measurements: Fluid properties (reservoir temperature, pressure, impurity fluids)and Rock properties (permeability, porosity, relative permeability, capillary pressure,etc), reservoir top & bottom, feed zones locations, well trajectory
• Previous reports and literature
Porosity Data (Darajat experience)
• Porosity is one of the critical factors in geothermal reserve estimation, as a majority of
geothermal fluid reserves in a vapor system are stored in the reservoir rock matrix porosity.
• Porosity study: petrography of blue-dye impregnated thin sections, X-Ray Diffraction
(XRD) and Portable Infrared Mineral Analyzer (PIMA).
• Core data are mostly available from the wells located on the field‟s margin, and very
limited from the field‟s center.
• A wireline porosity log estimate becomes critical where core data is not available.
• Integration of Schlumberger‟s Accelerator Porosity Sonde (APS) and Formation Micro
Scanner (FMS) pseudoresistivity were correlated with core data and provided porosity
estimates for the field center.
• The core porosity data were used as primary data for reservoir simulation, while wireline
log data were used to predict the range of porosity values.

Factors controlling porosity
Paper from Proceedings World Geothermal Congress 2005
Antalya, Turkey, 24-29 April 2005
Study from Rejeki, Hadi and Suhayati (Amoseas and ITB) implied that porosity is
mainly controlled by rock type and alteration processes.
Matrix porosity results exhibit a range of porosity by rock type from highest to
lowest: tuff, breccia, lapilli, lava (and intrusive) rocks. Low porosity lava and
intrusive dominates the center part of the field, while higher porosity pyroclastics
dominates the field‟s margins.

• Status: No production data• What is the need of conducting a reservoir model simulation before
there is no production data?• A reservoir modeling is used to define the number of recovery factor
of the reservoir• Thus, the recovery factor becomes an output of the reservoir
simulation.• What is the recovery factor?
• The reservoir performance can be evaluated based on the resulting
recovery factor R, defined as:
• R = Ms/MIP
Ms = total produced steam during 30 years
MIP = initial fluid mass in place.
Case Study: Namora I Langit Geothermal Field
• Areal extension (Field limits)
• Elevation of reservoir top and bottom, defining the thickness of the reservoir.
• Reservoir Temperature
• Porosity: The average value of the porosity over the whole
reservoir thickness is used as characterizing parameter
• Permeability The assumed values represent the possible
range of the “average” permeability for the whole reservoir.
• Average Fracture Spacing
• Productivity index
Key Reservoir Parameters considered in the evaluation of the hypothetical reservoir
• Reservoir area, reservoir top and bottom, matrix porosity and
temperature (affecting fluid density) were treated as independent
variables for the purpose of calculating fluid mass in place.
• Simultaneously, porosity, temperature, fracture permeability, fracture
spacing, well productivity index, cold fluid influx, reservoir top and
bottom, extraction depth, and exploitation strategy were treated as
independent variables for the purpose of calculating the appropriate
recovery factor.

Emerging Trends in Reservoir Model Simulation
As technology advances, as well as increase in number of data, there is a
need to collect the numerous data sets in a database program which can
help interpretation for geoscience study
A database program to allow import of numerous data sets should be able
to combine many types of data in particular of geoscience data (raw
data/image or static model of geoscience)
Besides, a database program which also functions as a data storage should
be compatible to be exported into processing tool or simulator
Examples of database program: Jewel, Petrel, Leapfrog3d
Examples of processing tool or reservoir simulator: TOUGH2, TETRAD,
STARS-CMG
Emerging Trends: Numerous 3D data collected: Database and Simulator
a) TOUGH2 most popular, less expensive
It can allow import of static data from database program (only from Leapfrog3d)
b) TETRAD expensive software/less expensive than STAR CMG
It can‟t import static model (3G data)
c) STARS CMG expensive software
It can allow import of static model (3G data) from database programs (Petrel
and Jewel).
It can help to understand integrated geothermal system based on geological,
geochemistry, and geophysics survey in a more advanced features and images.
Reservoir Simulator: TOUGH2, TETRAD, STARS-CMG
„A communication‟ between a database program and a reservoir simulator
should be good for it is very helpful and of time-saving to learn the
whole system of geothermal
Probabilistic in full factorial scheme
In probabilistic analysis, we take many possibilities
of the reservoir parameters into account.
Various uncertainty reservoir parameters create
many possibilities in reservoir model.
Vice versa, many models which contained of many
possibilities in the reservoir parameters can be built.
It is nearly impossible to run all possible models
(time-consuming and inefficient).
Moreover, the uncertainties can significantly
overestimate or underestimate a resource potential.
Emerging Trends: Probabilistic analysis in reservoir modeling
Scheme of full factorial
Hence, a technique called DoE (Design of
Experiment) is applied to capture only relevant
uncertainties.
This process systematically identifies, ranks, and
quantifies key parameters affecting field performance.

Reservoir modeling is a repetitive activity to change reservoir parameters
(permeability, porosity, etc.) for matching model output with observed data.
In forward modeling, we change the reservoir parameters in order to match
the model simulation output and real data.
Due to high uncertainty of the reservoir parameters, the process of
matching become rather difficult since we deal with many possibilities in
the reservoir parameters.
Hence, inverse modeling is developed to estimate reservoir parameters based
on measured/observed data.
Lately, the inverse modeling is considered to be more inefficient and
unrealistic if we deal with complex model
Emerging Trends: Inverse Modeling
Inverse modeling is more suitable for simple model over short range of
parameter values
It is also used for smoothing models in history production matching
Emerging Trends: Inverse Modeling
Single porosity: permeability and porosity of matrix
Dual porosity: permeability and porosity of matrix and fracture
Single vs dual porosity?
Dual porosity modeling more represents the real condition of geothermal
reservoir where fracture roles as fluid transmitting while matrix as fluid
storage
Dual porosity modeling is more difficult than single porosity modeling
The difficulty is primarily caused by determining the value of additional
parameters, i.e. spacing, fracture density, permeability and porosity fracture.
Emerging Trends: Single or Dual Porosity
Study from Darajat Geothermal Field:
Integration of the core study, APS, FMS and thin sections indicates that
the majority of the Darajat reservoir is composed of a dual porosity
environment in which fractures form the main conduits for fluids to
move (high permeability, more alteration) and the rock matrix has very
low permeability and is less altered.
Emerging Trends: Single or Dual Porosity
Emerging Trends: Discrete Fracture Network (DFN)

Emerging Trends: Integrated Simulator
The necessity of having integrated simulator:
• The determination of an optimum turbine inlet pressure is one of the key
solutions to the optimum of geothermal field development.
• It needs an integrated understanding of both technical and economic aspects
which covers from the reservoir, wellbore, pipeline & steam field facilities,
and power plant modeling.
• Each aspect contributes to the number of optimum turbine inlet pressure.
This can be explained for its impacts on the whole project of geothermal
from upstream to downstream business.
• Therefore, an adequate assessment of turbine inlet pressure is only possible
if the evaluation of each aspect has been carried out in advance.
Emerging Trends: Integrated Simulator
The „How‟
• To determine an optimum turbine inlet pressure, the procedure is accomplished by
combining reservoir modeling, power plant modeling, and economic modeling.
• Power plant modeling analyzes the relationship between two variables, i.e. specific
steam consumption and turbine inlet pressure. Reservoir modeling deals with a
relationship between steam availability and various turbine inlet pressures.
• The economic modeling yields the most feasible project economic indicator.
• Reservoir modeling is also used to analyze the sensitivity of the uncertainty
parameters within the reservoir and the effects of field development strategy to
the reservoir performance.
