Hydrostatic Pressure Conditions in PetraSim/TOUGH
This is the first in a series of posts discussing the initialization of a TOUGH model to represent realistic natural state conditions. In almost all cases, it is beneficial to run a model to steady state before adding transient boundary conditions, injection or pumping wells, etc. We’ll give a very simple example first, where we’ve used EOS3 to establish a hydrostatic pressure gradient in a single phase model.
