23 Although reservoir flow simulation is a mature technology, there is a general lack of understanding in the oil and gas industry as to when it should be applied, the limitations of it and how recent technical improvements have changed simulation. Streamline models have dramatically changed simulation work and made predictions better. Simple workflow and quality control issues are absolutely c...

many large oil and gas fields in the most productive world regions happen to be fractured. the exploration and development of these reservoirs is a true challenge for many operators. these difficulties are due to uncertainties in geological fracture properties such as aperture, length, connectivity and intensity distribution. to successfully address these challenges, it is paramount to improve ...

Streamline methods have received renewed interest over the past decade as an attractive alternative to traditional finite-difference (FD) simulation. They have been applied successfully to a wide range of problems including production optimization, history matching, and upscaling. Streamline methods are also being extended to provide an efficient and accurate tool for compositional reservoir si...

Streamline methods for subsurface-flow simulation have received renewed attention as fast alternatives to traditional finite volume or finite element methods. Key aspects of streamline simulation are the accurate tracing of streamlines and the computation of travel time along individual streamlines. In this paper, we propose a new streamline tracing framework that enables the extension of strea...
