Reservoir flow modeling involves two aspects: a functional model (flow equations and
numerical methods) and a representation model (related to the reservoir description)-and
this last aspect is usually the critical one. Reservoir representation is different from reservoir
characterization. It is not a question of describing the reservoir in a more or less exhaustive
or realistic way, but a question of incorporating relevant information into the flow simulation
model, considering the syntax of the flow simulators and the relative impact of information on …
