A smarter approach to gridding and upscaling earth models
For both geologists and reservoir engineers, PowerGrid™ software applies gridding and upscaling techniques making the earth models ideal for fast reservoir simulation, while still maintaining key geologic features. With PowerGrid tools, you won’t compromise fault or well location, wells and other key features when you’re upscaling earth models.
The PowerGrid application enhances the reservoir modeling workflow with local grid refinement (LGR) and "clever coarsening" functionality. The result is high-quality, simulator-friendly grids. Alternatives for property modeling on refined grids ensure accurate reservoir modeling, while automated workflows and visual integration significantly reduce cycle time.
Benefits
Improved Productivity
Local grid refinements (LGRs) and clever coarsening functionality optimize gridded reservoir models to meet both geological and engineering requirements.
More accurate reservoir modeling/simulation
Gridding, upscaling and downscaling workflows create a reservoir-friendly model, while honoring geologic features. Direct integration with seismic, well log, production, perforation and interpretive data ensures accurate grid building. Over-sampling and property modeling on refined grids ensure accurate reservoir modeling.
Reduces cycle time
Upscaling and clever coarsening features prepare grids for faster reservoir simulations.
Automated workflows, project data integration, and a multidiscipline visualization environment deliver the industry's fastest reservoir modeling workflow.
Features
Local grid refinements (LGRs) and upscaling
Innovative grid refinement in PowerGrid software allows the asset team to build a simulator-friendly grid while maintaining the integrity of the geological interpretation, adding detail around faults, wells or wherever needed.
"Clever Coarsening" technology
The PowerGrid application intelligently detects faults, coarsens away from the faults, and enables re-sampling of properties on the coarsened grid
Multi-disciplinary framework and grid generation
Property modeling techniques in PowerGrid software allow the user to maintain original property modeling resolution even after upscaling to satisfy simulation scale requirements
Multi-density grid property modeling
After the grid has been modified to accommodate both geologist and engineer requirements, various methods of property modeling can be applied including facies modeling, geostatistics modeling, etc.
Vertical Upscaling
PowerGrid software offers various approaches of vertical upscaling to the asset team including layer lumping and Peaceman property scaling allowing for FAST simulation.
Common visualization environment
PowerGrid software takes advantage of the highly integrated DecisionSpace infrastructure and viewer (DecisionSpace® AssetView™). DecisionSpace products share a visual environment supporting the entire range of E&D data. This common viewing environment allows for a new level of asset team collaboration and problem solving.
