| Abstract | We developed the integrated geothermal reservoir modeling system on PC (Windows95/NT) or UNM that can combine database, pre-processor for a reservoir simulator, post-processor for a reservoir simulator and mapping system. The core of the system is database managcment & mapping system named "GEOBASE2.3" (Geoscience Exploration and Observation dataBASE) that wasdeveloped by authors. This system can provide geostatistical mapping and plotting for exploration & production data or simulation results that are queried on ORACLE database management system. The pre-processor for TOUGH2 family (K. Pruess, 1991) and SING (NEDO) named "GeoCAD3.0" was developed by authors. A post-processor for TOUGH2 named "GRAV/TOUGH2" to calculate micro-gravity change of a reservoir was also developed by authors. We hereby introduce the performance of the system using Yanaizu-Nishiyama geothermal field data (Okuaizu Geothermal Co., Ltd., Fukushima Prefecture, Japan). |
