Hydrocarbon reservoirs commonly possess a geometry which incorporates both dip and faulting. In order to distinguish depth variations due to these two effects, it is useful to specify a simulation cell through the positions of its eight corner points. The faces of such a cell may be bilinear sur...

Corner-point grids have the capability to model complex geological features, such as faults and irregular reservoir boundaries. As an industry-standard, they are widely used in the simulation of different types of reservoirs, including both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. It is necessary to...
Corner-point is an industry-standard type grid for application in reservoir simulation. The flexible gridding in corner-point grids provides several advantages over Cartesian grids for the representation of complex geological features. In this work, an embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) is ...
Reservoir simulation models are constructed from sparse well data, dense seismic data, and using geologic concepts to constrain stratigraphy and property variations. Because of the sparseness of well data, stochastically inverted seismic data offer important constraints on reservoir geometry and average ...

Modeling of faults in general has major implications for the simulation grid. In turn, the grid quality control is very important in order to...
In turn, the grid quality control is very important in order to attain accurate simulation results. We investigate the dynamic effects of using stair-step grid (SSG) and corner-point grid (CPG) approaches for fault modeling from the perspective of dynamic reservoir perf...
