    Abstract: A method may include obtaining grid model data regarding a geological region of interest. The method may further include obtaining well data regarding a well in the geological region of interest. The method may further include obtaining a grid model for the geological region of interest based on the grid model data and the well data. The method may further include obtaining a time selection for a look-ahead simulation. The method may further include determining a look-ahead model for the look-ahead simulation based on the grid model data, the well data, and a coarsening function. The method may further include performing the look-ahead simulation using the look-ahead model and the time selection. The method may further include performing a reservoir simulation of the geological region of interest using the grid model and the look-ahead simulation.

    Abstract: A method may include obtaining a selection of various user-defined coarsening parameters. The user-defined coarsening parameters may include a predetermined fine-grid region in a geological region of interest and a predetermined cell distance. The method may further include determining an area of interest (AOI) mask for the geological region of interest based on the predetermined fine-grid region. The method may further include determining a geological property mask based on the user-defined coarsening parameters. The geological property mask may correspond to a predetermined geological feature within the predetermined cell distance from the AOI mask. The method may further include generating a coarsened grid model using grid model data and well data for the geological region of interest. The method may further include performing a reservoir simulation of the geological region of interest using the coarsened grid model.
