Abstract:
In this paper we have tried to mention a proper method of upscaling permeability data in a typical Iranian reservoir. Firstly a literature review is made on some common upscaling methods witch have been used so far. We introduced common upscaling methods like full tensor method, streamline method, stone method , vertical equilibrium method and also Kyte & Berry method. Additionally we have explained their advantages and also disadvantages. After selecting two upscaling methods, Kyte & Berry method and vertical equilibrium method, we applied these algorithms for upscaling of permeability data of Soroosh Oil Field. Soroosh oilfield is a heavy oil, Iranian reservoir located in Persian Gulf. Then The results of upscaling using these two methods were compared with the actual dynamic model results. For more accuracy and further investigation about the validity of each algorithm, we applied these upscaling procedures to upscale around some selected oil wells and finally we made comparisons with the results of actual simulation prepared by Eclipse reservoir simulation package. At the end of the paper we have stated a summary of the results
