Abstract: A method may include obtaining well activity data regarding various wells in a reservoir region of interest. The method may further include determining a predetermined well assignment for various parallel processing stages using a bin-packing problem algorithm and the well activity data. The predetermined well assignment may assign the wells to the parallel processing stages. A respective parallel processing stage among the parallel processing stages may perform a portion of a reservoir simulation using a respective computer processor and a well among the wells. The method may further include simulating the reservoir region of interest based on the wells being simulated according the predetermined well assignment for the parallel processing stages.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a method for surveying a hydrocarbon reservoir utilizing a reservoir model. The method includes the step of establishing an ensemble of models reflecting attributes of the hydrocarbon reservoir based on the reservoir model in its present state. The method includes the step of updating the reservoir model by utilizing a volumetric density image of the hydrocarbon reservoir. The volumetric density image can be constructed via muon tomography.

Abstract: A system and method of simulating fluid flow in a hydrocarbon reservoir is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a coarse grid model of the hydrocarbon reservoir and a trajectory of a wellbore that penetrates the hydrocarbon reservoir, and determining an initial grid geometry surrounding the trajectory. The method further includes constructing a reservoir simulation grid, conformal to the initial grid geometry in a first region in a vicinity of the wellbore and conformal with the coarse grid model in a second region more distant from the wellbore than the first region, and performing a hydrocarbon reservoir simulation, modeling a flow of fluid in the hydrocarbon reservoir based, at least in part, on the reservoir simulation grid.

Abstract: A method may include generating three-dimensional (3D) reservoir simulation data regarding a subsurface formation. The 3D reservoir simulation data may correspond to a plurality of reservoir properties at a predetermined timestep within a reservoir simulation. The method may include generating a 3D pixel dataset using the 3D reservoir simulation data. Each pixel of the 3D pixel dataset may be determined based on a plurality of reservoir property values. Each pixel of the 3D pixel dataset may include a red value, a green value, and a blue value that corresponds to three different reservoir property values out of the plurality of reservoir property values. The method may include generating a two-dimensional (2D) pixel dataset using the 3D pixel dataset. The 2D pixel dataset may correspond to a single video frame within various video frames.
