Abstract
One or more computer-readable media include computer-executable instructions to instruct a computing system to receive input as to physical characteristics of a resource recovery system and a resource reservoir; simulate fluid thermodynamics of the system and the reservoir; and output information as to phase composition, for example, in at least one dense phase affected by the resource recovery system. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.
Claims20
One or more computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions to instruct a computing system to:
- receive input as to physical characteristics of a resource recovery system and a resource reservoir;
- simulate fluid thermodynamics of the resource recovery system and the resource reservoir;
- and
- output information to a graphical user interface as to phase composition in at least one dense phase affected by the resource recovery system.
A method comprising:
- simulating fluid thermodynamics of a resource recovery system and a resource reservoir;
- based at least in part on the simulating, outputting information as to phase composition in at least one dense phase and in at least the resource recovery system;
- and
- based at least in part on the outputting, controlling equipment of the resource recovery system for recovering a resource from the resource reservoir.
