Talk Title: Next-Generation Multiscale-Based Reservoir Simulation: Recent Advances and Future Challenges
Abstract: The Multiscale Finite Volume (MSFV) Method has been developed for
efficient simulation of highly heterogeneous reservoirs with nonlinear
physics, allowing for more reliable management strategies. In this
presentation, I will discuss why a multiscale, and particularly the MSFV,
method is necessary for large-scale reservoir simulations. Then, the
mathematical framework and the systematic error reduction strategies for
time-dependent problems are presented. Numerical results for
challenging problems, ranging from compressible and compositional
flows to heterogeneous problems with fractures and wells, are presented.
In particular, the first multiscale fully implicit (fully coupled) simulation
of 3D compositional problems with gravity and capillarity effects are
presented. Finally, to-date and future challenges in this research field will
be discussed.
