Abstract

Methods for validating reservoir simulation models can include determining one or more time segments of fluid recovery of a reservoir; generating, for a first time segment, one or more streamlines on a full simulation grid corresponding to the reservoir by performing one or more reservoir simulations; generating, for the first time segment, one or more drainage volumes; generating, for the first time segment, grid regions along one or more no-flow boundaries of the one or more drainage volumes; generating, for the first time segment, sector models corresponding to the grid regions; performing, for the first time segment, a history matching process corresponding to a time phase simultaneously on each of the sector models to generate, for each sector model, a history matching output; and comparing, for the first time segment and for each sector model, the history matching output for that sector model to a tolerance threshold.
