This paper presents the results of the 10th SPE Comparative Solution Project on Upscaling. Two problems were chosen. The first problem was a small 2D gas-injection problem, chosen so that the fine grid could be computed easily and both upscaling and pseudoization methods could be used. The second problem was a waterflood of a large geostatistical model, chosen so that it was hard (though not impossible) to compute the true fine-grid solution. Nine participants provided results for one or both problems.
