A friend mentioned "The chance for a general chemical engineer to be in

In contrast, chance for a general chemical engineer to be in upstream is
quite good. Many reservoir engineers have chemical engineering background.

hi, thanks for your input. so you believe that without knowledge in
petrophysics, geology and porous media flow, it is very tough for cheme
engineer to work in upstream? so you believe that cheme engineer's role in
upstream is limited in polymer , surfactant flooding or phase behavior
related job?
Is porous media flow a laminar flow type? We cheme engineer have good
traning in fluid transport phenomena, mass, momentum and energy balance,
including laminar and turbulance flow. We know how to de

First, I would need to point out that flow in porous media is NOT laminar
flow in 99% the case, if not all. Flow in reservoir is nevertheless
extremely different from that packing column.
Owing to the low oil prices in the past 20 years, almost 50% of workforce in
oil industry will be in retirement in the next 5-10 years. On the other
hand, there may be about 20 PhDs in petroleum engineer (including
petrophysics, drilling, production and reservoir, but exclude geology.) each
year produced in t

Well, I am not sure how do you define upstream.
To me, upstream is from reservoir all the way to the receiving platform,
refinary and ect.
How much do you think petropysics, geology and fluid through porous media
will do for outflow in wellbore, flowline and riser? And subsea processing
uints?
Once the fluid is out of the reservoir into the wellbore, most or all the
workwill be done by chemical and mechanical engineers.
Reservoir engineerning is part of the upstream, but not all.

Dont you upstream guys use Darcy flow to approximately quantify reservoir
flow in most cases except at wellbore or conduits? Darcy flow is a linear
flow only valid in the range of laminar flow?
What is the difference between reservoir flow and distillation column flow?
Both are porous media flow, one flow through rock and another flow through
structured or randomally packing column. Both have to deal with fluid with
mass, momentum and energy balance. Geologic model is more complicated than

Totally agree with g&g role although myself is an engineer.
Regarding the stupidity, that is largely because of the nature of companies.
Public companies are responsible for the shareholders, and if they are
more conservative (e.g. in laying off ppl and keep bottomline), the stock
price would drop, and thus the executives are under pressure and ppl would
go to other companies that are willing to keep bottomline. Large NOC, in

Depends on years. It would be difficult for UT to contribute more than 6
phds per year (among 20+ faculty members), and still the largest phd program
in the US. Stanford has only 9 faculty members. Tulsa maybe producing one or two, OU/CSM/PSU all in single digit.
It maybe true that 20 is conservative, but it would be very hard NOWADAYS to produce too many over that number. 50 is definately too many for the small number of faculty in the US. Another thing is MS is usually 6 times overnumber p

Anyway, you still did not get. For PDE part, if it is only ONE time thing,
it is not a big deal at all. In each time step, there require ~2-5
interations (average about 4). There is ~3000-10000 (average about 6000)
time steps in each run. There are 200-3000 runs (average about 1000) for a
real simulation. That account for 24 million times solving for that million
by million matrix. If the grid number is twice as large (two million by
two million) or dual porosity and/or dual permeability,

1. Even if using homogeneous scaler perm, the number of cells will NOT be

2. Numerical solution around well is tougher, yes for IMPES (stability
reasons), no for fully implicit.
As such,the number of cells DOES depends on the size of the field, and more accurately the number of wells. BTW, you did not seem response to my question in that thread and I

The discussion is also a learning process and brainstorming for me myself.
But, I give up as (1) you never specify what type of gridding system using,
pillar, pebi or any other structured or unstrured grids; (2) you do not have
much credit as you did not run substaintial number of REAL simulations.
Most difficult grids are around some particular geological structure, and
that is only because of (1) discountinuity (not necessary around Fault or
Fracture); and/or (2) poor physical modeling. This
