16
Q

• It divides the reservoir into many small gridblocks.
• t gives the most accurate numerical representation, but has the greatest computational expense

17
Q

• It has fewer gridblocks, but the coarse gridblocks must be larger than the fine gridblocks to cover the same model volume.

• it is is less expensive to run than a fine grid, but it is also less accurate numerically.

18
Q

Versatile when used in gridding process

A

3D Reservoir Mapping Package

19
Q

changed relatively quickly once properly set up

A

COMPUTER GENERATED MAPS

20
Q

Disadvantage of Computer Generated Maps:

A

• not include all of the detailed
interpretations
• the amount of detail that can be
obtained is limited
• Can describe a reservoir with a much finer grid than can be used in a reservoir simulator

21
Q

The numbers of cells must be reduced by _____

22
Q

RESERVOIR GRIDS

A

• 1D (horizontal and vertical)
• 2D (areal and cross-sectional)
• 3D
• Cartesian or cylindrical coordinates

23
Q

_____ are used to model linear systems that do not include gravity effects.

A

Horizontal 1D Models

24
Q

______ has a variety of applications, including the determination of saturation-dependent data such as relative permeability curves.

A

Core Flood Modeling

25
Approximating the vertical distribution of fluids in 2D cross-sectional and 3D models by _____
modifying relative permeability and capillary pressure curves
26
The modified curves are called ____$. An example of a pseudoization technique
PSEUDO CURVES
27
Its principal assumption is that fluid segregation in the vertical dimension is instantaneous. This assumption is approximated in nature when vertical flow is rapid relative to horizontal flow
Vertical Equilibrium (VE) Approximation
28
• are designed to study rapid pressure and saturation changes • defined in cylindrical rather than Cartesian coordinates • most effectively simulated by a Fully Implicit Formulation
Near Wellbore Coning (Or Radial) Models
29
_____ can be used to model coning, but timesteps must be very small, possibly on the order of minutes or hours
IMPES
30
most straight forward technique
Block-centered geometry
31
visually more realistic
Corner-point Geometry
32
used to provide additional grid definition in a few selected regions of a larger grid
Local Grid Refinement (LGR)
33
Model may be classified into three different types:
■ Full Field Models ■ Window Area Models ■ Conceptual Model
34
are used to match performance of the entire field
Full Field Model
35
are designed to look at smaller areas of the field
Window Area Models
36
can also be used to prepare pseudo curves for use in full field or window area models
Conceptual models
