Abstract: | Abstract Integrated flow modeling (IFMing) is an expanding area of research since it was introduced less than a decade ago. It is a combination of the traditional flow simulator with a petrophysical algorithm. This article introduces an experimental apparatus that allows for simultaneous monitoring of fluid flow and elastic wave velocities. In addition to fluid flow monitoring and elastic wave velocities measurement, apparatus provides a means to calculate elastic moduli needed for the petrophysical algorithm in the IFM. Also, apparatus makes possible to evaluate the petrophysical algorithm by history matching experimental fluid flow data. |
