Fractal Distributions of Reservoir Properties and Their Use in Reservoir Simulation
Proceedings of International Petroleum Conference and Exhibition of Mexico, 1994Abstract Geostatistics has become a popular way to distribute reservoir properties between wells. One of the geostatistical methods being used is fractal geostatistics. Most porosity well logs have been found to have a fractal character.

Integration of multiscale carbonate reservoir heterogeneities in reservoir simulation
Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2013Abstract The construction of robust reservoir models considering geological carbonate heterogeneities, such as fractures and vugs, upscaling and numerical flow simulation remains a challenge. This work performs a methodology aiming a suitable representation of flow simulation and upscaling techniques according to small and large scale carbonate ...

Practical simulation of multi-porosity reservoirs through existing reservoir simulator
Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2017Abstract Complex heterogeneous reservoir exhibits special characteristics, such as multiple storage types, wide range of storage sizes, complicated storage combinations, and various flow behaviors. Multi-continuum model is needed to rigorously simulate this type of reservoir.

Petroleum engineers can mathematically model the behaviour of a petroleum reservoir, allowing them to determine the optimum way to exploit a reservoir. A numerical reservoir model consists of a series of different equations with each representing a different aspect of the physical nature of the reservoir and its fluids.

Parallel oil reservoir simulation
1996In the EUREKA project PARSIM a large industrial simulation code is being parallelised in order to be able to perform the simulation interactively, giving the user immediate feedback through the simulators graphical user interface. Apart from the user interface, the simulator consists of two main components: A linear equation solver, and the simulation ...

Enhancing Optimization of Reservoir Simulation Processes in Next-Generation Reservoir Simulators
SPE Reservoir Characterisation and Simulation Conference and Exhibition, 2017Abstract In field development and management, optimization has turned out to be an integral component for decision-making. Optimization involves computationally intensive complex formulations but simplifies making decisions. For reaching the optimal solution to a defined objective function, optimization software can be combined with a ...

Parallelisation of an oil reservoir simulation
1996The importance of oil reservoir simulation is self evident. Almost every device with a moving part uses oil for lubrication, most forms of transport rely on oil as a source of power and many manufacturing processes use oil as a raw material. Stocks of oil are limited and our ability to recover the available oil is dependent on our knowledge and ...

Reservoir Simulation on a Hypercube
SPE Reservoir Engineering, 1990SummaryThe rapid evolution of parallel computers with distributed memory promises to reduce computer hardware costs by an order of magnitude. To examine the extent to which this promise can be realized in practice, we coded and tested a 3D parallel implicit reservoir simulator for an Intel iPSC/2™ hypercube with 16 vector processors.

Parallel adaptive reservoir simulation
Parallel Computing, 1990Abstract In oil-industry it is common use to simulate the exploitation of an oil-reservoir by means of some numerical method. Such a numerical method may use the concept of dynamical local grid refinement, in order to mark fronts of water and oil, which move through the reservoir.

Parallelization in Reservoir Simulation
SPE Latin America Petroleum Engineering Conference, 1992Abstract A new technique is presented for solving the linear equations arising in reservoir simulation using multiple processors in parallel. The Nested Factorization(1) algorithm is extented by domain decomposition in a highly parallel way while ensuring that the power of the method is retained as the computation is distributed over ...
