Abstract

ABSTRACT A new technique was developed for initializing a simulation model to account for areal variation in initial water saturation caused by changes in reservoir quality. The new technique uses permeability and lithology dependent Leverett J-functions with a suite of porosity-permeability transforms to calculate water saturations for finely gridded geologic models of the reservoir. Saturations were then integrated over the larger individual grid-blocks in the 3-D reservoir model.
