Waterflood Management Using Hybrid Approach of Streamline-Based Interwell Flux Information and Finite Volume Reservoir Simulation

Uncertainty Quantification of a Fractured Reservoir Using Distance-based Method and Streamline Simulation

Streamline Based Flow Simulation

23 Although reservoir flow simulation is a mature technology, there is a general lack of understanding in the oil and gas industry as to when it should be applied, the limitations of it and how recent technical improvements have changed simulation. Streamline models have dramatically changed simulation work and made predictions better. Simple workflow and quality control issues are absolutely c...

Petroleum Reservoir Simulation Using Finite Volume Method with Non-structured Grids and Parallel Distributed Computing

This paper discusses the implementation of a numerical method for simulating petroleum reservoirs, based on finite volume technique using non-structured grids, designed for parallel computing platforms with distributed-memory, particularly for clusters of workstations. Non-structured meshes are used in order to enhance the capability of conforming the irregular boundary of the reservoir allowin...

A unified approach to Mimetic Finite Difference, Hybrid Finite Volume and Mixed Finite Volume methods

We investigate the connections between several recent methods for the discretization of anisotropic heterogeneous diffusion operators on general grids. We prove that the Mimetic Finite Difference scheme, the Hybrid Finite Volume scheme and the Mixed Finite Volume scheme are in fact identical up to some slight generalizations. As a consequence, some of the mathematical results obtained for each ...

A Direct Sequential Simulation Approach to Streamline- Based History Matching

Streamlines have proven useful for visualizing and solving complex history-matching problems that enhance reservoir description. This paper presents a novel, multiple-scale streamline-based technique that perturbs the reservoir model in a manner fully consistent with prior geological data. Streamlines define dynamic drainage zones around production wells and the mismatch between historical and ...
