    摘要: Method for generating a 3D grid, and for defining a material property model on the grid, to use, for example, in a reservoir simulator. A mapping is defined (61,71) to a design space in which the material property is described as a piecewise smooth implicit or explicit function in three dimensions. Grid geometry is constructed only in the physical space of the model (62-65, 73-76), and no grid is required in the design space. The material property, for example permeability, is sampled in the design space (66,77) to populate the cells in the grid constructed in the physical domain. Prismatic grid cells may be truncated based on faults and horizons (65), or maybe conformed to fault surfaces using a 3D parameterization of the model (76). Only forward mapping, i.e. from the physical domain to the design space, is required.

    摘要: A method of generating a volumetric data structure of a subsurface region, including: obtaining, with a computer, a volume segment of the subsurface region, wherein the volume segment is bounded by a first horizon and a second horizon, and by a plurality of lateral surfaces formed by faults and boundaries of a geological model corresponding to the subsurface region; obtaining, with the computer, an isomorphic triangulation of the first horizon of the volume segment; deforming, with the computer, the isomorphic triangulation of the first horizon of the volume segment to fit a boundary of the second horizon of the volume segment; after the deforming, creating, with the computer, a template grid from the first horizon of the volume segment and the second horizon of the volume segment; generating, with the computer, layer sections from the template grid by cutting the template grid by lateral surfaces of the volume segment; and generating, with the computer, the volumetric data structure of the subsurface reservoir as a prismatic grid from isomorphic triangulations of the layer sections.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for generating a simulation grid for a reservoir model based on a geological model comprising horizons, constraints and multiple geological grid cells. A pre-image is generated corresponding to the geological grid cells, the pre-image comprising a surface and the modeling constraints being mapped onto the surface. A constrained two-dimensional grid is generated on the pre-image, the two-dimensional grid comprising multiple grid cells. Simulation layer boundaries are selected from the geological model and the constrained two-dimensional grid is projected onto the simulation layer boundaries. Prismatic cells are then generated to form the three-dimensional simulation grid. The method of generating a grid as herein described may be incorporated in existing reservoir simulators to improve their accuracy.
