Abstract
B001 UNMATCHED MULTIBLOCK GRIDS FOR SIMULATION OF GEOMETRICALLY COMPLEX RESERVOIRS Abstract C. WOLFSTEINER 1 S.H.LEE 1 H. A. TCHELEPI 2 P. JENNY 3 and W. H. CHEN 1 (1) ChevronTexaco Energy Technology Co. (2) Stanford U. (3) ETH Zürich A simulator with hexahedral multiblock grids has been developed to simulate flow in reservoirs with geometrically complex features (i.e. faults and wells). A reservoir model can always be gridded with multiblock grids with matching grid lines between blocks. However this matching requirement may introduce many small cells that have little impact on the simulation results as well as unnecessarily increase the
