How to check initialization of reservoir model

From petrofaq
Jump to navigation Jump to search

To check the validity of reservoir model initialization run the model for several time steps without wells and verify that it doesn't have saturation or pressure variations. It's easy and should always be done before proceeding with the history matching process.
If saturation or pressure is changing without wells activity, the model initializes not under static-equilibrium-condition.

Wrong initialization: run without wells shows saturation change. Correct initialization: saturation doesn't change during run without wells.
