polymer case keyword- PLYVMH #5412

Open EnriqueRamonV opened 4 weeks ago

EnriqueRamonV commented 4 weeks ago

Hello,

We are using OPM-FLOW for polymer simulation in a real oil field case in Ecuador.

My question is about the constants of the Mark-Houwink equation and the Huggins equation. Where can we find the constants for polymers used in the oil and gas industry? image

and what parameters were considered in the example (POLYMER-01) for choosing these values?

Hei,

Can you refer to the keyword description in the OPM manual (https://opm-op.com/manual/OPM_Flow_Reference_Manual_2023-10_Rev-0.pdf) to see if it answers your question?

Cheers, Kai

hello,

Thank you for your response.

I have already reviewed the OPM-FLOW manual and have come to the conclusion that it doesn't provide specific values for these constants for the Mark-Houwink and Huggins equations for the polymers, which is hindering our simulation. Additionally,

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance you can provide in finding these values for HPAM POLYMER. If you have any suggestions on where can I find these values or if there are alternative resources available, please let me know.

Thank you for your support.
