Abstract

A system and method for reducing the complexity of the reservoir simulation process is described. In more detail, an add-in for spreadsheet software program has been developed allowing a user to input minimal amount of information for a simulation, wherein the add-in exports the data as a file readable by any simulation software. Upon completion of the simulation, the add-in will retrieve the results and display them in an easy-to-interpret manner. Thus, the add-in makes the simulation process easier, robust, and user friendly.
