Abstract
Composition and physical properties vary within hydrocarbon reservoirs, even in well connected ones; it is of crucial interest to model this change in order to initialize the reservoir simulator. In this work, a non-isothermal model is used to depict changes in plus fraction molecular weight and it will be integrated into another non-isothermal model describing fluid compositional changes within a 3D reservoir. Previously, the model has been validated versus 1D real reservoir data. It will be used to model compositional change of real hydrocarbon in a synthetic 3D reservoir subjected to temperature gradient in x, y, and z directions.
