... been published in the past, application to stochastic geological systems is limited. In the proposed procedure, results from a fine-scale numerical flow simulation reflecting the full physics of VAPEX over a small element of the reservoir are integrated by use of the volume-averaging technique...

...R.M. Hassanpour; J.G. Manchuk; O. Leuangthong; C.V. Deutsch Summary Geostatistical models of reservoir properties are high resolution with many grid cells; it is impractical to use them directly in flow simulation because of computational costs. Upscaling techniques are applied to average small...

... properties, it is necessary to develop a systematic procedure to capture the impact of these clasts to a scale that is suitable for numerical flow simulation. This is commonly referred to as upscaling in reservoir characterization. The procedure described here involves digitizing core photographs of breccia...

... on a synthetic 2D and 3D reservoir. Introduction Reservoir flow simulation is used to forecast oil and gas production profiles corresponding to different development scenarios. The reservoir models on which the flow simulations are performed are themselves uncertain due to the sparse information...

...-making: calculating maps of uncertainty over large areas to support resource calculations and well placement; reconciling well and seismic data into high resolution reservoir models; and, constructing representative models of heterogeneity to provide input to flow simulation and support reservoir...

...Richard Baker Although reservoir flow simulation is a mature technology, there is a general lack of understanding in the oil and gas industry as to when it should be applied, the limitations of it and how recent technical improvements have changed simulation. Streamline models have dramatically...
