ResAssist™ is an easy-to-use PC based graphical user interface (GUI) developed
by Epic Consulting Services that allows the user to interact
with StreamSim’s powerful 3DSL® streamline simulator module in the familiar Windows™
environment thus eliminating the need to execute keyword commands
normally required to run 3DSL®.
The combination of ResAssist™ and 3DSL® is an affordable alternative to conventional finite difference simulations when dealing with reservoirs that have
production/injection displacements. It gives the user fast and practical results which can be
used as is, or to initiate more in depth simulations using
streamline or conventional simulation.
What unique information does ResAssist™ provide?
Streamlines and well allocation factors
Streamline images provide the user with a unique glimpse of the flow
patterns that relate to injector/producer pairs. The
movement of fluids in a reservoir are often more complex
than anticipated. The streamline image can also
display allocation factors that illustrate the allocation
for a given producer relative to the injectors in the field
and vice versa (see side image). The streamline plot
coupled with the saturation plots give the user a good
indication regarding infill well placement.
Dynamic reservoir conditions change flow paths
 
Conditions in the reservoir can be quite dynamic with varying injection and
production offtakes. In the example shown on the left, note the
area of influence (orange) of the injector at the bottom. In the
image on the right, increased offtake by the producers
to the east result in the (orange) injection being diverted.
Water injection efficiency plots
ResAssist™ can also calculate and plot injection efficiency for a reservoir. The injectors are plotted according to their
efficiency with regards to oil production.
In this example, the green injectors effect
far more oil to be produced per unit of water
injected than the red injector.
The efficiency plot can be mapped aerially to provide an
indication of where the injection is most effective
(green) or where areas have been well swept (red).
Can I forecast?
ResAssist™ makes it easy to place new injector and producer infill
wells into an existing model. The yellow wells shown are new
injectors and producers that were inserted into the model
forecast. ResAssist™ generates saturation and
streamlines plots that include these new wells.
Why do you need ResAssist™ + 3DSL®?
