    Abstract: System and methods for defining non-linear petrofacies for a reservoir simulation model are provided. A cross-plot visualization of selected petrophysical properties from a three-dimensional (3D) geocellular grid array of petrophysical properties representing a reservoir rock formation is presented to a user via a display of a computing device. Upon receiving user input for defining a non-linear petrofacies region of the 3D geocellular grid within the presented cross-plot visualization, data points in the cross-plot visualization that are within the boundaries of the petrofacies region are identified. The identified data points are associated with the petrofacies region. Hydraulic rock properties are assigned to one or more cells of the 3D geocellular grid based on the data points associated with the petrofacies region.

    Abstract: At least some of the disclosed systems and methods obtain a static earth model having a three-dimensional grid with multiple cells, each cell having petrophysical properties associated therewith. Further, at least some of the disclosed systems and methods adjust a size of at least some of the cells based on a predetermined scaling rule. Further, at least some of the disclosed systems and methods re-sample petrophysical properties for the adjusted grid cells. If the one or more attributes of the static earth model are within a threshold tolerance after the adjusting and re-sampling steps, the static earth model is used as input to a flow simulator.

    Abstract: A three-dimensional reservoir simulator used for automated upscaling relative permeability and capillary pressure in multi-porosity systems comprising disparate rock-types. A coarse-scale single-porosity model incorporating multi-porosity model properties may be derived from a fine-scale single-porosity model based, at least in part, on simulation of a model comprising data from one or more regions of interest. Real-world and laboratory measurements of the one or more regions of interest may be provided to the fine-scale single-porosity simulation model and the fine-scale single-porosity model may be subjected to one or more fractional flow simulation processes and one or more displacement simulation processes. The fine-scale model properties may be modified based, at least in part, on the results of the one or more fractional flow simulation processes and one or more displacement simulation processes. Coarse scale-model properties may be derived from the fine-scale single-porosity model properties by upscaling the fine-scale single-porosity model. The coarse-scale single-porosity simulation model incorporating multi-porosity model properties may be used to improve operational decision-making, including drilling operations and reservoir management.

    Abstract: A method and system for forming Representative Elemental Length (REL) of well data. The method may comprise inputting log data from a borehole in a formation into an information handling system, identifying an initial length of the REL section and divide the log data into a plurality of REL investigation sections that are of substantially equal length, calculating an average value of a formation property for each of the plurality of REL investigation sections, and selecting a maximum value and a minimum value of the REL investigation sections. The method may further comprise checking the maximum value and the minimum value are stable, deriving the formation property for each of the REL sections as an output, and forming a model of the formation from each of the REL sections. The system may comprise a downhole device, configured to take measurements of a formation, and an information handling system.
