Lattice Boltzmann Simulations of Fluid Flow in Continental Carbonate Reservoir Rocks and in Upscaled Rock Models Generated with Multiple-Point Geostatistics

Figure 17

Computer-generated models of a subhorizontal facies sample with σ = 0.25. (a) Conditioning data, with three different subvolumes “B,” “C,” and “D” indicated. (b) Simulated rock model based on the conditioning data in subvolume “B”; (c) simulated rock model based on the conditioning data in subvolume “C”; and (d) simulated rock model based on the conditioning data in subvolume “D.” The same TI is used in each simulation. Similar colors indicate pores that are connected.
