Database System and Applications Developed for Reservoir Modelling and Monitoring of Geothermal Fields in the Philippines

Abstract

The present database system of PNOC Energy Development Corporation for reservoir engineering is improved to support rapid correlation of diverse sets of reservoir data for model conceptualization and reservoir modelling. Simple application programs for data visualization were created to show how database functionality could be enhanced from mere data storage into a useful tool for reservoir simulation and monitoring. Logical data blocks are drawn from an Oracle database on the fly within a UNIX shell script to create dynamic line graphs and contour planes of temperature and pressure providing basic graphic representation of the reservoir. Developer forms are created for graphical retrieval and handling of data.
