Use of Tracer in Eclipse Simulator

Post by vikrantvishal »

Hello all,

What is the use of tracer in multiphase flow in Eclipse?...It moves with which phase velocity (with water or oil velocity)?

Regards,
Vikrant

The ECLIPSE Tracer Tracking option is a general facility to follow the movement of ‘marked’ fluid elements during a simulation run.

The Tracer Tracking option has a wide variety of reservoir modeling applications.

In the case of tracers defined to exist in the water phase, it may be used, for example, to determine the movement within the reservoir of water injected into any number of injection wells or to predict the variations in salinity or concentration of other chemical species in the water produced from the reservoir.

It can also used to identify the produced gas production either produced from solution gas or free gas in the gas cap.
