Abstract

One or more methods for validating reservoir simulation models. At least one of the methods include determining one or more time segments of fluid recovery of a reservoir by analyzing a production history of the reservoir; running a simulation model, for the first time segment, to generate one or more drainage volumes; generating, for a first time segment, a plurality of grid regions along one or more no-flow boundaries of the one or more drainage volumes; generating, for the first time segment, a plurality of sector models corresponding to the plurality of grid regions; and performing, for the first time segment, a history matching process corresponding to a time phase simultaneously on each of the plurality of sector models to generate, for each of the sector models, a history matching output.
