COURSE OVERVIEW

The aim of this course is to provide participants with the skills required to understand and apply the process of upscaling a detailed static reservoir model into a coarser model suitable for dynamic flow simulation. The program explores the interaction between static geological modeling and dynamic reservoir simulation, highlighting how assumptions and scaling techniques influence model performance. It also presents practical upscaling strategies designed to improve the reliability and predictive quality of simulation models under different field development scenarios.

COURSE OUTLINE

3 days

Day 1: Using wireline data

Introduction to upscaling
o Discussion of typical upscaling problems
o Identification of user-specific issues
o Upgridding, fundamental constraints of scale and grid design
o Upscaling static properties

Day 2: Using mapping data

o Revision and exercise
o Upscaling dynamic properties
o Discussion on why we don’t upscale porosity or permeability
o Upscaling quality control

Day 3: Interfacing with MS Office

o Case studies and horror stories
o The ‘un-upscalable grid’
o Practical aspects of upscaling with commercial software

INSTRUCTOR

Professor Stephen Tyson is a Chair Professor in Petroleum Engineering at Universiti Teknologi Brunei, where he leads the development of teaching and research in the discipline. Previously, he served as Chair of Subsurface Modeling at the Centre for Coal Seam Gas and as Director of the Centre for Geoscience Computing in the School of Earth Sciences at The University of Queensland.

He has more than 30 years of industry experience in reservoir characterization and modeling, covering both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. His work has been primarily focused in the Asia-Pacific region and Australia.

His current research interests include model validation, verification and acceptance criteria for static and dynamic models, upscaling, uncertainty modeling, and non-linear geostatistics. He is also an Honorary Professor in Petroleum Engineering at the University of New South Wales and serves as an EAGE instructor.

FAQ
