Pseudo-Phase Conveyor Simulation: A signal processing approach to determine quasi-multiphase flow promotion over successive analogous step-function relative permeability-controlled models in reservoir flow simulations to rank multiple petrophysical realizations

摘要

The disclosed embodiments include a method, apparatus, and computer program product for approximating a multiphase flow deposit simulation to rank multiple petrophysical implementations in an order. One embodiment is a system that includes at least one processor and memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions that perform operations when executed by the at least one processor, generating a set of relative permeability curves pseudo phase support; Obtaining delivery rate history data; Obtaining minimal simulation configuration parameters; Performing a flow simulation using the set of relative permeability pseudo-phase promotion curves for a set of petrophysical implementations; Determining an optimal matching pseudo-phase feed simulation result that best matches the feed rate history data; and determining a ranking for the petrophysical realizations within the set of petrophysical implementations based on an area between a composite rate curve for a petrophysical realization and an historical rate curve.
