Using Streamline Simulation for Advanced Reservoir Management

B22 Using Streamline Simulation for Advanced Reservoir Management M. Thiele* (StreamSim Technologies) & R.P. Batycky (Streamsim Technologies) SUMMARY Streamline-based flow simulation (SL) is an effective and complementary technology to more traditional flow modeling approaches such as finite differences (FD). This is because streamline-based flow simulation is particularly efficient in solving large geologically complex and heterogeneous systems where fluid flow is dictated by well positions and rates rock properties (permeability porosity and fault distributions) fluid mobility (phase relative permeabilities and viscosities) and gravity. These are the class of problems more traditional modeling techniques have difficulties with. For waterflooding and EOR modeling
