Abstract
Reservoir simulation proved its significance in the petroleum industry to solve reservoir engineering problems and predict reservoir future performance. The aim of this work is to verify a new academic reservoir simulation software called QASR simulation software by comparing its result with a legacy reservoir simulation software’s result to ensure its reliability using dead oil and black oil model cases for an oil reservoir. The method is to run the two model cases for both simulators for four oil producer wells and one water injector well considering the same parameters such as initial pressure and density. The results of the study show a match in the performance of the oil reservoir properties behavior of the four oil producers and water injector for both QASR and legacy simulation software interpretations. The conclusion of this work suggests that QASR software generates the same results as obtained from the legacy reservoir simulator. Hence, QASR simulation is reliable and provides representative results.
