1 INTRODUCTION
Based on the need to control the complexities associated with the oil and water reservoir system, from the preliminary reservoir capacity study to the depletion and abandonment of the fluid extraction field, the simulation of oil and water reservoirs is important because it is possible to mitigate and predict future behaviors, as well as to adjust the analysis with the actual depletion and field tests.
The analysis of the geomechanical behavior through simulation guarantees to follow the development of phenomena such as subsidence and development of the stresses associated with the model, with consequent relief of stresses, or increase of stresses, providing the activation of failures, creation of fractures, or also pressure loss with low production and loss of injection material.
The choice of theme is based on the need for careful monitoring of the geomechanical behavior associated with the reservoir, whether it is confined to rock with fractures that influence the depletion or not, or the reservoir confined with compositional fluid or just black oil.
Initially, studies on preliminary knowledge on reservoir engineering were conducted, with learning and use of specific computer simulators for the analysis of oil and water reservoirs, with associated geomechanics module.
Subsequently, the use of another simulator, specifically for geomechanics, and the application of flow simulators in porous media and rock mechanics in iterative coupling to obtain accurate results of geomechanical behavior.
1.2. TOPIC AND JUSTIFICATION
Studies and analysis of the behavior of oil and water reservoirs are highly developed due to the importance of the energy capacity that, in the case of oil, it provides, either for fuel generation or the generation of oil products.
The environmental impacts that may occur with an imprecise analysis or without using the due importance to preliminary studies, during the execution phase and later phase of abandonment of the exploration field may be irreparable and provide a drastic impact on mankind.
Therefore, preliminary studies and reservoir simulations are important to predict and mitigate future actions, to provide the preparation for future events during exploration, reducing the uncertainties associated with the oil reservoir system.
1.3. GENERAL AND SPECIFIC PURPOSE
The general objective is to compare the total coupling proposed by Dean et al. (2006) with the iterative coupling developed
