Impact of the "Missing Scale" on Block Effective Permeability
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Traditional upscaling addresses only averaging of permeability values from the geostatistical grid cell to the flow simulation block (2 to 3 orders of magnitude larger). The difference of scale between core measurements and the geostatistical grid cell (from 6 to 10 orders magnitude larger) is most often ignored. The impact of this latter missing scale on the calculation of whole-field effective permeabilities is documented for a variety of heterogenous permeability fields. The conclusion is that the missing scale problem cannot be ignored.
