Maps / movies of fluid saturation and
reservoir pressure trends are also invaluable
to assessing the quality and consistency
of the output. For example, inconsistent
pressure behaviour related to negative
cell volumes may indicate that there is
an issue with the gridding and / or assigned
transmissibility of gridblocks along a fault
zone.
Uses and Limitations of
Simulation
As computing power and software
capability have developed, the art of
reservoir simulation has proven to be a
valuable complement to other methods of
reservoir analysis. To the geologist, a threedimensional model is the ultimate tool
for visualizing and then communicating the
reservoir interpretation to others (Figure
4). As a working tool, it integrates the
partial interpretations provided by each
discipline and allows for an unsurpassed
level of consistency checks.
To the reservoir engineer, modern-day
