Simulations Of Petroleum Particle Flow Near Lamu Basin Reservoir, Kenya, For A Study Of Petroleum Reservoir Characterization In Fully Confined Aquifer
We present a mathematical model for simulating petroleum particle flow for petroleum reservoir characterization, near the Lamu Basin of the Kenyan coast using the equations governing fluid flow. The petroleum particle flow near Lamu basin reservoir is pressure dependent, decreasing with decreasing pressure in time. In this numerical model, the partial differential equation was discretised using integrated finite difference method
