Flow model

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001480

A numerical representation of fluid movement within a porous and permeable reservoir rock, constructed by integrating static geological data with dynamic fluid properties. It simulates how fluids like oil, gas, and water move through the reservoir over time in response to production or injection. These models are discretized into grid blocks, with governing equations solved using methods like finite difference to predict pressure, saturation, and flow rates, forming the basis for reservoir management decisions.
