Introduction to Reservoir Management 1

on an understanding of the reservoir problem and a familiarity with the
accompanying computer program WINB4D, WINB4D is a three-dimensional,
three-phase reservoir simulator. These terms are discussed in detail in subsequent
chapters.
The exercises in Part II use different sections of the user's manual
presented in Part IV. If you work all the exercises, you will be familiar with the
user's manual and WINB4D by the time the exercises are completed. Much of
the experience gained by running WINB4D is applicable in principle to other
simulators.
Successful completion of the exercises in Part II will prepare you for the
case study presented in Part III. The case study is designed to integrate the
material discussed in Parts I and II. By the time Part III is completed, you will
have participated in each technical phase of a typical model study.
Parts IV and V are the User's Manual and Technical Supplement,
respectively, for WINB4D. Supplemental information in Part V provides more
detailed descriptions of the algorithms coded in WINB4D,

Exercises

Exercise 1.1 WINB4D Folder: A three-dimensional, three-phase reservoir
simulator (WINB4D) is included on a disk with this book. The WINB4D user's
manual is presented in Part IV, and a technical supplement is provided in Part
V. Prepare a folder on your hard drive for running WINB4D using the procedure
outlined in Chapter 23. What is the size of the file WINB4D.EXE in kilobytes
(KB)?

Exercise 1.2 WINB4D Example Data Sets: Several example data sets are
provided on the WINB4D disk. Copy all files from your disk to the \WINB4D
folder on your hard drive. Make a list of the data files (files with extension
"dat"). Unless stated otherwise, all exercises assume WINB4D and its data sets
reside in the \WINB4D directory.

Exercise 1.3 The program 3D VIEW maybe used to view the reservoir structure
associated with WINB4D data sets. 3DVIEW is a visualization program that
