Abstract: This paper presents the results of the testing and initial applications of a general purpose reservoir simulator specifically designed to solve gas-water storage reservoir problems. A unique feature of the simulator described herein is its ability to treat the gas as a miscible mixture of two components: an inert and a hydrocarbon gas. The simulator is based on a modification of Scientific Software-Intercomps (SSI) standard three-phase, three-dimensional reservoir simulator and therefore it encompasses the experience of more than 20 years of simulation technology. The solution to the two-component gas problem was accomplished using the method of characteristics, so that numerical dispersion is eliminated or minimized. Several example problems and a brief description of the model are included. Comparisons of calculated results with analytical solutions, and experimental laboratory data in one- and two-dimensional models are presented. Results of the history matching of a depleted gas field converted to storage are presented. A correlation to estimate coning of inert gas into single producing wells is proposed.
