▪ Abstract Efficiently and accurately solving the equations governing fluid flow in oil
reservoirs is very challenging because of the complex geological environment and the …

This book provides a self-contained introduction to the simulation of flow and transport in
porous media, written by a developer of numerical methods. The reader will learn how to …

A new technique for generating coarse scale models of highly heterogeneous subsurface
formations is developed and applied. The method uses generic global coarse scale …

A variety of approaches for gridding and upscaling of detailed geocellular models for flow
simulation are reviewed. Local, extended local, global and quasi global techniques for the …

Locally conservative flux-continuous, full-tensor, discretization schemes are presented for
general unstructured grids. The schemes are control-volume distributed, where flow …

A new technique for upscaling highly variable permeability descriptions is developed and
demonstrated. The method provides coarse scale numerical properties (transmissibilities) …

A procedure for the improved calculation of upscaled grid block permeability tensors on
Cartesian grids is described and applied. The method entails the use of a border region of …

The multiscale finite-volume (MSFV) method is extended to include compositional processes
in heterogeneous porous media, which require accurate modeling of the mass transfer and …

Traditional two-phase relative permeability upscaling entails the computation of upscaled
relative permeability functions for each coarse block (or interface). The procedure can be …

The robust optimization of reservoir performance under geological uncertainty typically
requires the simulation of multiple geological realizations at each iteration of the …
