Abstract
Systems and methods for modeling petroleum reservoir properties using a gridless reservoir simulation model are provided. Data relating to geological properties of a reservoir formation is analyzed. A tiered hierarchy of geological elements within the reservoir formation is generated at different geological scales, based on the analysis. The geological elements at each of the different geological scales in the tiered hierarchy are categorized. Spatial boundaries between the categorized geological elements are defined for each of the geological scales in the tiered hierarchy. A scalable and updateable gridless model of the reservoir formation is generated, based on the spatial boundaries defined for at least one of the geological scales in the tiered hierarchy.
