Boundary conditions

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000432

The specified physical constraints or properties at the edges of a reservoir model or wellbore system, defining how the system interacts with its surroundings. These conditions dictate the flow behavior of fluids within the reservoir, such as constant pressure at an aquifer boundary or no flow across a sealing fault. They are mathematical statements used to solve differential equations that describe fluid flow in porous media.
