| Abstract | Computer simulation is used to analyse the results of a tracer test conducted in well PN-9RD, a fluid reinjection well for Palinpinon-I (Philippines). In September 1985 a radioactive tracer I131 was released at PN-9RD and there were widespread and rapid returns of tracer to the production area. The computer simulator is based on a model for the fluid flow in the reservoir which can include the effects of injection wells, production wells, a single fracture and background flow. The best agreement between the transit times for the actual test and the simulation are obtained for a high permeability fracture across the field (predominantly west to east) and background flow towards the west. |
