... that incorporate the sharp pressure gradients that occur around the wells. Streamline simulation . The reservoir pressures are used to determine the location of the streamlines. Saturations are then determined by 1D solutions along each streamline. Dynamic gridding . The saturations on each streamline...

.... A new upscaling approach based on non-uniform coarsening with optimum power average is presented. The proposed algorithm identifies likely high connectivity regions using streamline simulations, then constructs a non-uniform coarse-scale grid preserving the areas with probable high connectivity...

... distribution (for IMPES solutions), but flow transport is from block to block, whereas, in a streamline/streamtube simulation model, fluids are transported along streamlines, as shown in Figure 1 4 2001 1 4 2001 2001. Petroleum Society of Canada streamline simulation Modeling...
