Abstract
The "geopseudo" method for flow upscaling aims to capture the effects of geological structure at different scales (e.g. lamina-scale; bed-scale) so that they may be included in reservoir-scale simulations. This process may be time consuming, since the scale-up must be carried out in several stages. At each stage detailed grids of the permeability variations must be created, and a two-phase simulation must be performed to calculate the pseudo flow parameters.
