Abstract
Methods for simulating the movement of fluid through a formation volume comprises defining a lab-scale model representing rock fabric and associated permeability along a single well location within a formation volume and converting the lab-scale model to a field-scale model representing rock fabric and associated permeability at the single well location. The field-scale model representing rock fabric and associated permeability is correlated with field-scale log data and interpolated between multiple well locations so as to create a field-scale model representing rock fabric and associated permeability across the formation volume so that the movement of fluid through the formation volume can be simulated.
