This model has a sufficiently fine grid to make use of classical pseudoisation methods almost impossible. The model has a simple geometry, with no top structure or faults. The reason for this choice is to provide maximum flexibility in choice of upscaled grids.
At the fine geological model scale, the model is described on a regular cartesian grid. The model dimensions are 1200 x 2200 x 170 (ft). The top 70 ft (35 layers) represents the Tarbert formation, and the bottom 100 ft (50 layers) represents Upper Ness. The fine scale cell size is 20 ft x 10 ft x 2 ft.
The model consists of part of a Brent sequence. The model was originally generated for use in the PUNQ project. The top part of the model is a Tarbert formation, and is a representation of a prograding near shore environment. The lower part (Upper Ness) is fluvial.
Fig.1(a) shows the porosity for the whole model, and Fig.1(b) shows part of the Upper Ness sequence, with the channels clearly visible.
The fine scale model size is 60 x 220 x 85 cells (1.122x106 cells).

Upscale the fine scale reservoir description to a suitable coarse grid. Any method of upscaling (single or multi-phase) can be used. Construct a coarse simulation model and simulate 2000 days of production.
report
To make fair comparisons between the different approaches, we need the following items to be reported:
Simulator used; impes or implicit; timestep strategy (max dt, impes stability on or off, etc).
