Upscaling is the process of creating a coarser grid (with lower resolution) based on the geological fine grid (with high resolution).

The term also applied to Scale up well logs.

Why Upscale?

  • Reduce CPU time for uncertainty analysis and risk assessment
  • Make fine-scale simulation practical
