MPFA convergence and monotonicity properties vary. We introduce a new MPFA method for quadrilateral grids termed the \hl{L-method}, which seeks to minimize the number of entries in the flux stencils while honoring uniform flow fields and is valid for general media. For homogeneous media and uniform grids in two dimensions, this method has four-point flux stencils and seven-point cell stencils, whereas the MPFA \hl{O-methods} has six-point flux stencils and nine-point cell stencils. The reduced stencil of the L-method appears as a consequence of adapting the method to the closest neighboring cells or, equivalently, to the dominating principal direction of anisotropy. We have tested this method's convergence and monotonicity properties and compared it with the O-methods. For moderate grids, the convergence rates are the same, but for rough grids with large aspect ratios, the convergence of the O-methods is lost, while the L-method converges with a reduced convergence rate. Also, the L-method has a larger monotonicity range than the O-methods. For homogeneous media and uniform parallelogram grids, the matrix of coefficients is an M-matrix whenever the method is monotone. For strongly nonmonotone cases, the oscillations observed for the O-methods are almost removed for the L-method. Instead, extrema on no-flow boundaries is observed. These undesired solutions, which only occur for parameters not common in applications, should be avoided by requiring that the previously derived monotonicity conditions are satisfied. For local grid refinements, test runs indicate that the L-method yields almost optimal solutions and is considerably better than those obtained by the O-methods. The efficiency of the linear solver is, in many cases, better for the L-method than for the O-methods. This is due to lower condition numbers and fewer entries in the matrix of coefficients.}} % Amirsardari: GRIDDING @article{amirsardari2015anisotropic, title={Anisotropic grid generation for dynamic simulation in heterogeneous hydrocarbon reservoirs}, author={Amirsardari, Mahdi and Dabir, Bahram and Naderifar, Abbas}, journal={Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering}, volume={27}, pages={1523--1535}, year={2015}, publisher={Elsevier}, keywords={Unstructured gridding, Reservoir simulation, Anisotropic grid, Porous media}, Annote ={Coarsening from fine geological model to coarse dynamic model is one of the main practical stages in reservoir simulation process in order to minimize simulation run time.

Limiting averages for general types of permeability. variation is developed and illustrated by examples involving important, specific types of variation. The theory of the flow of fluids through porous media is becoming increasingly important in predictions of oil-reservoir behavior. However, reservoirs are seldom found in practical applications to which simple theory strictly applies. Actual reservoirs have complicated shapes and non-uniform permeabilities and porosities. This paper discusses the problem of estimating a single equivalent permeability for an oil reservoir or a segment of an oil reservoir whose actual permeability varies irregularly. The equivalent permeability of a reservoir segment is defined as the permeability of a homogeneous segment of the same dimensions that would pass the same flux under the same pressure drop.The permeability value can be used in simple theoretical formulas to calculate the reservoir behavior. To the authors' knowledge, previous theoretical calculations on systems of non-uniform permeability have been carried out only by Musk, and he has not dealt with irregular variations except in writing down the general differential equation for the pressure in variably permeable systems. In practical work, many calculations have been made to estimate equivalent permeabilities from the permeability profiles obtained by core analyses. Regarding such calculations, Johnston and Sherborne say: Simple arithmetic and weighted averages have been tried on many wells, and it has been found that, where frequent sampling has occurred, the arithmetic average is as satisfactory as a weighted average. The application of statistical methods to the analysis of permeability data, as recently presented by Laws, may prove fruitful. Law has made a valuable contribution in showing how statistical analyses may aid in picturing the characteristics of a reservoir from those of a necessarily limited number of core samples. It is believed, however, that the particular problem of the estimation of equivalent permeabilities can be most directly approached from a fluid dynamical viewpoint, as given in the present paper. An example of the use of the conclusions herein in conjunction with Law's method is presented.}, keywords={Average permeabilities} } % Castellini @inproceedings{castellini2000flow, Title={Flow based modules for grid generation in two and three dimensions}, Author={Castellini, A and Edwards, Michael G and Durlofsky, Louis J}, booktitle={ECMOR VII-7th European Conference on the Mathematics of Oil Recovery}, Keywords = {grid generation, Durlofsky, Edwards}, Annote={}, Year={2000} } %Chen, Clauser, Marquart, .. @article{chen2016modeling, title={Modeling anisotropic flow and heat transport by using mimetic finite differences}, author={Chen, Tao and Clauser, Christoph and Marquart, Gabriele and Willbrand, Karen and B{\"u}sing, Henrik}, journal={Advances in water resources}, volume={94}, pages={441--456}, year={2016}, publisher={Elsevier} } % Chen, Z., Huan, G., \& Ma, Y.

This paper partly addresses that question by applying global and local-global TPFA procedures to problems with significant full-tensor anisotropy.

Upscaling procedures, for example, generate full-tensor effects on the coarse scale, even for cases where the underlying fine-scale permeability is isotropic. A multipoint flux approximation (MPFA) is often needed to simulate flow for such systems accurately. This paper presents and applies a different approach, nonlinear two-point flux approximation (NTPFA), for modeling systems with full-tensor effects. In NTPFA, transmissibility (which provides interblock connections) is determined from reference global flux and pressure fields for a specific flow problem. These fields can be generated using either fully resolved or approximate global simulations. Using fully resolved simulations leads to an NTPFA method corresponding to global upscaling procedures. In contrast, approximate simulations provide a method that corresponds to recently developed local-global techniques. NTPFA algorithms applicable to both single-scale full-tensor permeability systems and two-scale systems are described for both approaches. A unified framework is introduced, which enables single-scale and two-scale problems to be viewed consistently. Extensive numerical results demonstrate that global and local-global NTPFA techniques provide accurate flow predictions for single- and two-scale systems over wide parameter ranges. However, the global procedure is more accurate overall. The applicability of NTPFA to the simulation of two-phase flow in upscaled models is also demonstrated.} } % chen @article{chen2003mixed, Author = {Chen, Zhiming and Hou, Thomas}, Journal = {Mathematics of Computation}, Keywords = {Finite Element Upscaling methods, FEM}, Number = {242}, Pages = {541--576}, Title = {A mixed multiscale finite element method for elliptic problems with oscillating coefficients}, Volume = {72}, Year = {2003}} % Chen, QY @article{chen2008enriched, title={Enriched multi-point flux approximation for general grids}, author={Chen, Qian-Yong and Wan, Jing and Yang, Yahan and Mifflin, Rick T}, journal={Journal of Computational Physics}, volume={227}, number={3}, pages={1701--1721}, year={2008}, publisher={Elsevier}, Annote ={}, Keywords = {} } % Christie, 2001, 10th SPE Comparative Solution Project on Upscaling @inproceedings{christie2001tenth, Annote = {Paper presents the results of the 10th SPE Comparative Solution Project on Upscaling.

This paper reviews and summarizes both single- and two-phase upscaling techniques. Introduction: A principal motivation for developing upscaling techniques has been the development of geostatistical reservoir description algorithms.1-3 These algorithms now routinely result in fine-scale descriptions of reservoir porosity and permeability on grids of tens of millions of cells. The descriptions honor the known and inferred statistics of the reservoir properties. Fig. 1 shows an example of such a reservoir description. These reservoir-description grids are far too fine to be used as grids in reservoir simulators. Despite advances in computer hardware, most full-field reservoir models still use fewer than 100,000 cells, a factor of 100 down on the geological grid. Upscaling is needed to bridge the gap between these two scales. Given a fine-scale reservoir description and a simulation grid, an upscaling algorithm assigns suitable values for porosity, permeability, and other flow functions to cells on the coarse simulation grid. Many possible choices for an upscaling approach exist; see Refs. [4] through [7] for examples. Single-Phase Upscaling: The simplest form of upscaling is single-phase upscaling. Here, the aim is to preserve the gross flow features on the simulation grid. The algorithm calculates an "effective permeability," which results in the same total flow of single-phase fluid through the coarse, homogeneous block as that obtained from the fine heterogeneous block. Pressure-Solver Methods: In the pressure-solver method, we set up a single-phase-flow calculation with specified boundary conditions and then ask what value of effective permeability yields the same flow rate as the fine-grid calculation. The results we obtain depend on our assumptions, particularly about boundary conditions. The most common assumption is that no-flow boundary conditions exist on the cube's walls. This gives rise to a diagonal tensor that can be entered directly into a reservoir simulator. Although almost all the fine details have been lost, the broad features are retained. Directional Effective Permeabilities: To calculate directional effective permeabilities, we set up calculations in the x, y, and z directions as follows. Set up a matrix equation to solve with no-flow boundary conditions along the sides, p=1 at the inlet, and p=0 at the outlet. Solve the equation and sum the fluxes in the x direction. This approach is simple and very effective in most circumstances. For example, Begget al.8 obtained effective vertical permeabilities using pressure-solver techniques that agreed very closely with the values received with a history-matching technique. Full-Tensor Effective Permeabilities: Alternatively, some authors [9-13] assume periodic boundary conditions and calculate a full-tensor effective permeability. This is significantly more accurate but has the disadvantage that it cannot be directly entered into a commercial reservoir simulator. Tensor-effective permeabilities are still the subject of active research, particularly in symmetry. Durlofsky [14] gives a good summary of scale-up involving tensor permeabilities. He favors the application of periodic boundary conditions. His approach is supported by Pickup [13], who compared the accuracy and robustness of several boundary conditions in calculating effective permeabilities. Renormalization Techniques: Renormalization methods offer a faster but less accurate method of calculating an effective permeability. For most cases, renormalization gives effective permeabilities close to the direct solution of the pressure equation and allows rapid calculation of effective permeabilities from extensive grid systems. The renormalization approach works by taking a significant problem and breaking it down into a hierarchy of manageable problems. It has proven successful in a variety of theoretical physics areas.The renormalization method for effective permeabilities was pioneered by King [15], who used a resister-network analogy to write down direct expressions for effective permeabilities on sequences of 2x2 cells. Fig. 4 shows the procedure. A small group of cells is extracted, then the effective permeability is calculated and put back in place of the original fine group of cells. This can be repeated for many levels and gives a fast estimation of effective permeability. Renormalization is not limited to 2x2 cells and resister-network analogies and can be coded for arbitrary scale changes between levels through direct methods for matrix inversion. Other Techniques: Other techniques that should be mentioned include effective medium theory [15], power-law averaging [16], harmonic-/arithmetic-mean techniques, and homogenization theories [17]. These techniques are generally very fast but suffer from some limitations in applicability. Limitations in Upscaling: One of the main limitations of upscaling is that it usually answers with almost no indication of whether the assumptions made in deriving the answer hold. Limited attempts have been made to analyze the upscaling process [18], but no good theory exists that unequivocally states whether an upscaled value provides a good or bad approximation. Some areas are known to raise concern about whether the upscaled values are good approximations; these include large-aspect-ratio grid blocks, significant transport at an angle to the grid lines, and upscaled grid blocks close in size to a correlation length of the system. The main practical advice that can be given under these circumstances is to try to vary the parameters that cause concern. For example, where correlation lengths are close to upscaled gridblock sizes, you can see a significant change in upscaled value for coarse-grid sizes of half or twice the original size. Another factor is that the effective permeability values depend on the difference operator used to solve the pressure equations and the permeabilities on the underlying fine grid. This can be particularly important for large-aspect-ratio grid blocks typically used to calculate effective vertical permeabilities. Some recent work by Edwards [19] offers the potential in reducing the effects of this gridlock aspect-ratio problem.}, Annote = {Geostatistical reservoir description algorithms routinely result in fine-scale descriptions of reservoir porosity and permeability on grids of tens of millions of cells.

Given a fine-scale reservoir description and a simulation grid, an upscaling algorithm assigns suitable values for porosity, permeability, and other flow functions to cells on the coarse simulation grid. Many possible choices of upscaling approach exist. The algorithm calculates model parameters that result in the same total flow of single-phase fluid through the coarse, homogeneous block as that obtained from the fine heterogeneous block (i.e., Pressure-Solver Methods = set up a single-phase-flow calculation with specified boundary conditions and then asks what value of transmissibility (or permeability) yields the same flow rate as the fine-grid calculation. Fig. 3 shows an example of a two-dimensional calculation that scaled a 128 x 128 fine grid up to an 8 x 8 coarse grid. Although almost all the fine details have been lost, the broad features are retained. Other techniques are generally very fast but suffer from some limitations in applicability (including renormalization, power-law averaging, etc.). Some areas are known to raise concern about whether the up-scaled values are good approximations; these include large-aspect-ratio grid blocks, significant transport at an angle to the grid lines, and upscaled grid blocks close in size to a correlation length of the system. Effective permeability values depend on the difference operator used to solve the pressure equations and the permeabilities on the underlying fine grid. It is necessary to be aware of some key areas when performing any form of upscaling. The size and shape of the gridblocks used will affect the answer obtained.} } % ------------------------------------ % % ----------------- D ------------------ % % Darcy @article{darcy1856fontaines, title={Les fontaines publiques de la ville de Dijon, Dalmont}, author={Darcy, Henry}, journal={Paris: Dalmont}, year={1856}, Keywords = {Darcy's Law}, Annote={} } % Davis: AMR @incollection{davis2017adaptive, title={Adaptive Mesh Refinement: An Essential Ingredient in Computational Science.}, author={Davis, P}, booktitle={SIAM News}, year={2017}, Keywords = {AMR, Gridding}, Annote={} } % Deutsch @article{deutsch1998geostatistical, Author = {Deutsch, Clayton V and Journel, Andre G}, Journal = {Oxford University Press, New York}, Title = {Geostatistical software library and user's guide}, Year = {1998}, Keywords = { } } % Dickson - groundwater resource management @article{dickson2014coupling, title={Coupling ground and airborne geophysical data with upscaling techniques for regional groundwater modeling of heterogeneous aquifers: Case study of a sedimentary aquifer intruded by volcanic dykes in {N}orthern {I}reland}, author={Dickson, Neil Edwin Matthew and Comte, Jean-Christophe and McKinley, Jennifer and Ofterdinger, Ulrich}, journal={Water Resources Research}, volume={50}, number={10}, pages={7984--8001}, year={2014}, publisher={Wiley Online Library} } % Durlofsky @inproceedings{durlofsky2005upscaling, Author = {Durlofsky, Louis J}, Booktitle = {8th International Forum on Reservoir Simulation Iles Borromees, Stresa, Italy}, Keywords = {Survey of upscaling, gridding}, Title = {Upscaling and gridding of fine scale geological models for flow simulation}, Volume = {2024}, Year = {2005}, Annote = {Survey of upscaling.

It is then very challenging to simulate numerical fluid flow on such heterogeneous porous media. The continuous increase in computing power makes it possible to integrate smaller and smaller heterogeneities into geological models of up to tens of millions of cells. On such meshes, despite computer performance, multi-phase flow equations cannot be solved in an acceptable time for hydrogeologists and reservoir engineers, especially when the modeling considers several components in each fluid and when rock-fluid interactions are considered. Taking average reservoir properties is a common approach to reducing mesh size. During the last decades, many authors have studied the upscaling topic. Two ways have been investigated to upscale the absolute permeability: (1) an average of the permeability for each cell, which is then used for standard transmissibility calculation, or (2) directly computing upscaled transmissibility values using the high-resolution permeability values. This paper is related to the second approach. The proposed method uses the half-block approach and combines the finite volume principles with algebraic methods to provide an upper and a lower bound of the upscaled transmissibility values. An application on an extracted map of the SPE10 model shows that this approach is more accurate and faster than the classical transmissibility upscaling method based on flow simulation. This approach keeps the contrast of transmissibility values observed at the high-resolution geological scale and improves the accuracy of field-scale flow simulation for highly heterogeneous reservoirs. Moreover, the upper and lower bounds delivered by the algebraic method allow checking the quality of the upscaling and the gridding.} } % ------------------------------------ % % ----------------- H ------------------ % % Ham 2002 @article{ham2002cartesian, Author = {Ham, FE and Lien, FS and Strong, AB}, Keywords = {Cartesian grid , anisotropic adaptation, adaptive refinement}, Annote = { }, Journal = {Journal of Computational Physics}, Number = {2}, Pages = {469--494}, Publisher = {Elsevier}, Title = {A Cartesian grid method with transient anisotropic adaptation}, Volume = {179}, Year = {2002}} % He, 2006 @article{he2006structured, Author = {He, C and Durlofsky, LJ}, Keywords = {Upscaling, gridding}, Annote = { }, Journal = {Advances in water resources}, Number = {12}, Pages = {1876--1892}, Publisher = {Elsevier}, Title = {Structured flow-based gridding and upscaling for modeling subsurface flow}, Volume = {29}, Year = {2006}} % He, et al @article{he2002numerical, title={Numerical calculation of equivalent cell permeability tensors for general quadrilateral control volumes}, author={He, Chuanping and Edwards, Michael G and Durlofsky, Louis J}, journal={Computational Geosciences}, volume={6}, number={1}, pages={29--47}, year={2002}, publisher={Springer}, annote={A new method for upscaling fine scale permeability fields to general quadrilateral-shaped coarse cells is presented.

Chen, Durlofsky, Gerritsen, Wen paper cites this paper as performing transmissibility upscaling using MPFA (instead of only TPFA like they did in their paper). In this paper we present a multi-scale finite-volume (MSFV) method to solve elliptic problems with many spatial scales arising from flow in porous media. The method efficiently captures the effects of small scales on a coarse grid, is conservative, and treats tensor permeabilities correctly. The underlying idea is to construct transmissibilities that capture the local properties of the differential operator. This leads to a multi-point discretization scheme for the finite- volume solution algorithm. Transmissibilities for the MSFV have to be constructed only once as a preprocessing step and can be computed locally. Therefore this step is perfectly suited for massively parallel computers. Furthermore, a conservative fine-scale velocity field can be constructed from the coarse-scale pressure solution. Two sets of locally computed basis functions are employed. The first set of basis functions captures the small-scale heterogeneity of the underlying permeability field, and it is computed in order to construct the effective coarse-scale transmissibilities. A second set of basis functions is required to construct a conservative fine-scale velocity field. The accuracy and efficiency of our method is demonstrated by various numerical experiments. }, Author = {Jenny, Patrick and Lee, SH and Tchelepi, Hamdi A}, Keywords = {transmissibility upscaling using MPFA}, Journal = {Journal of Computational Physics}, Number = {1}, Pages = {47--67}, Publisher = {Elsevier}, Title = {Multi-scale finite-volume method for elliptic problems in subsurface flow simulation}, Volume = {187}, Year = {2003}} % Journel, 1986 @article{journel1986geostatistics, Author = {Journel, AG}, Keywords = {geostatistics, isotropic, permeability}, Annote = {Fine-scale permeability field is commonly isotropic}, Journal = {Mathematical Geology}, Number = {1}, Pages = {119--140}, Publisher = {Springer}, Title = {Geostatistics: models and tools for the earth sciences}, Volume = {18}, Year = {1986}} @inproceedings{journel1986power, title={Power averaging for block effective permeability}, author={Journel, AG and Deutsch, C and Desbarats, AJ and others}, booktitle={SPE California Regional Meeting}, year={1986}, organization={Society of Petroleum Engineers}, annote={}, keywords = {}, abstract = {A binary type permeability distribution with spatial autocorrelation is introduced to model the transition between shales and sand in a reservoir.

In SPE California Regional Meeting. Society of Petroleum Engineers. One of the most pervasive problems in the description of an heterogeneous medium is the problem of averaging from one scale to another. A medium property is observed at one scale on a particular property is observed at one scale on a particular support (volume) of measurement, but the value of that property ``averaged" over a different volume size at a different location is needed. By ``average" it is meant the unique value of the latter volume that could replace the set of all smaller measurements that could be obtained and processed within it, were there no limitations of processed within it, were there no limitations of resolution, money, and/or CPU time. For example, actual measurements can be performed on a small support such as permeabilities on performed on a small support such as permeabilities on core plugs and the effective permeability of a simulation block is required. If the averaging process of the particular variable under study were known the problem would be much alleviated. For example, the average porosity of a volume is simply the arithmetic average of the porosities of all the samples that constitute it. porosities of all the samples that constitute it. The same arithmetic averaging process holds true for additive variables such as saturations and more generally grades or volume/weight percentages of various phases. Unfortunately, many other medium characteristics are not additive, i.e. the corresponding averaging process is not a mere arithmetic average and, worse, process is not a mere arithmetic average and, worse, most often it is unknown. For example, the average or effective permeability of a block remains unknown even if all the thousands of core plugs that constitute it were accessible for analysis: it is neither the arithmetic average nor the geometric average of these core permeabilities, although in many situations practice has adopted the second averaging process. process. Compounding the problem is the fact that not all plugs (or supports) constituting the block are plugs (or supports) constituting the block are available for measurements. This second problem calls for interpolation or the unknown plug values from neighboring known values. Unfortunately, interpolating values before knowing how they average is like putting the cart before the horse and it does not matter how fancy the cart is, whether called kriging or splines.

To do so, we develop a new near-well local grid refinement within a base Cartesian grid and design discretization schemes using multipoint flux approximations (MPFA's) to obtain a numerical solution sufficiently accurate for well-test analysis. \textbf{We establish conditions that guarantee monotonicity for the specific MPFA schemes used.

Thus, in this work, we derive criteria for discrete monotonicity for the proposed grid system, and then investigate the monotonicity regions of different MPFA methods as functions of permeability anisotropy and grid geometry properties}.

A large number of multi-scale finite-volume methods have been developed over the past decade to compute conservative approximations to multiphase flow problems in heterogeneous porous media. In particular, several iterative and algebraic multi-scale frameworks that seek to reduce the fine-scale residual towards machine precision have been presented. Common for all such methods is that they rely on a dual-primal coarse partition, which makes it challenging to extend them to stratigraphic and unstructured grids. Herein, we propose a general idea for how one can formulate multi-scale finite-volume methods using only a primal coarse partition. To this end, we use two key ingredients that are computed numerically: (i) elementary functions that correspond to flow solutions used in transmissibility upscaling, and (ii) partition- of-unity functions used to combine elementary functions into basis functions. We exemplify the idea by deriving a multi-scale two-point flux-approximation (MsTPFA) method, which is robust with regards to strong heterogeneities in the permeability field and can easily handle general grids with unstructured fine- and coarse-scale connections. The method can easily be adapted to arbitrary levels of coarsening, and can be used both as a standalone solver and as a preconditioner.

Since transmissibilities between neighboring gridblocks are required by the simulator, it is better to determine six "half-block transmissibilities" for each gridblock. These can be calculated directly by solving the finite-difference equations for pressure in each of the six half-blocks, wherein uniform pressures are applied at two opposite faces, and no-flow conditions are applied at the other four faces. Alternatively, in order to reduce computation time, renormalization has been proposed for calculating the effective permeabilities of the gridblocks. These previous proposals ignore anisotropy and require that the elemental blocks and each coarse block be rectangular. In this paper, renormalization is modified to avoid these disadvantages. Renormalization is most easily implemented if there are NNN elemental blocks within each coarse block, where N is a power of 2. A more flexible variation of renormalization is also presented which reduces this restriction somewhat. However, the direct method is much more flexible with regard to the number of elemental blocks in each direction. While renormalization might be expected to be faster than the direct method, a comparison of running times shows that a highly efficient iterative solver for the direct method is somewhat faster than renormalization.} } % Pickup @article{Pickup1994, Annote = {Main equation holds at upscale.

The number of grid blocks in a simulation model is generally much smaller than the number of grid blocks in the geological model. The geological model is, therefore, regularly upscaled for building reasonably sized simulation models. Any upscaling causes a loss in detail and introduces errors. Understanding the nature of the errors that occur due to the upscaling step is important because it can provide a handle on the kind of upscaling to be performed and the optimum level of upscaling. Furthermore, understanding the interaction of gridding and upscaling errors is essential for building reliable simulation models. In this article, we analyze errors introduced due to the upscaling step. First, the generality of the purely local single-phase upscaling is considered, and the errors introduced due to its use in complex multiphase flows are investigated. Three kinds of errors, namely total upscaling errors, discretization errors, and errors due to the loss of heterogeneity are defined, and their behavior as a function of the level of upscaling is studied for different types of permeability distributions. The reasons for apparently low total upscaling errors at high levels of upscaling are investigated. The efficacy of the geostatistical tools (variograms, QQ plots) for understanding the geological structure of the upscaled models, as compared to the reference model, is tested for different cases. Second, the uncertainty introduced in the flow results due to the upscaling errors is studied in conjunction with the uncertainty incorporated through the introduction of geological variability in the ensemble of geological models. The behavior of upscaling errors and geological variability as a function of the level of upscaling is studied, and its possible impact on important reservoir management decisions is analyzed. It is shown that the uncertainty models of cumulative oil profiles, obtained from flow results of highly upscaled models can contain significant uncertainties. These uncertainties are a result of upscaling errors and, therefore, cannot be considered to represent only geological uncertainty, which is captured by the introduction of geological variability in the ensemble of the geological models.}, apa={Sablok, R., \& Aziz, K.

A method for up-gridding geostatistical reservoir models is proposed. The method generates well-adapted coarse-grid grids for a given realization and target coarse-scale dimensions. While most current grid generation methods are based on local or global dynamic (flow rate dependent) measures, this paper shows that including local and global static information can greatly improve computational costs while maintaining accurate flow response. Static property information is analyzed to infer a measure of spatial variability regarding the relative influence of connected bodies on reservoir flow response. These bodies consist of well-connected permeability falling within a range of permeability values. Bodies may strongly impact local and global flow behavior; knowledge of the relative location of such bodies in a given realization may render an accurate coarse-scale representation of the fine-scale models in terms of flow response. An investigation of the method under a set of realistic synthetic 2D and 3D reservoirs is conducted. Sensitivity to the strength of geological continuity and flow boundary conditions are considered for various scale-up ratios. The results indicate accurate reproductions of the flow simulation response compared to fine-scale realizations.

In the first step, the Galerkin Finite Element Method (FEM) is utilized to compute pressure solutions at all cell vertices. In the second step, pressure values at cell vertices derive continuous two-point flux stencils for cell faces. Mass conservation equations are then written for each cell to obtain a system of linear equations that can be solved for pressure at cell centers. Extensive numerical experiments are carried out to test the performance of our TSFVM. In particular, we compare TSFVM with the classical Multipoint Flux Approximation (MPFA-O) method as well as a more recently developed MPFA method with full pressure support called enhanced MPFA (eMPFA). The results show that the TSFVM compares well with eMPFA for challenging test cases for which MPFA-O breaks down. Specifically, and as a significant step forward, our TSFVM is robust for challenging problems involving heterogeneous and highly anisotropic permeability tensors when both MPFA-O and eMPFA suffer from unphysical oscillations.
