Status analysis and development of reservoir numerical simulation technology

Abstract In recent years, with the continuous development of computer, applied mathematics and reservoir engineering, reservoir numerical simulation method has been improved and widely used. Through numerical simulation, we can make clear the fluid flow law, oil displacement mechanism and spatial distribution of remaining oil in the reservoir; study reasonable development scheme, select the best production parameters, and obtain the highest recovery factor and maximum economic benefit with the least investment and the most scientific production method. In order to meet the needs of the development of petroleum industry, reservoir numerical simulation technology has made great progress in recent years. The appearance of the development direction of fine reservoir numerical simulation is the most intuitive display of this progress. Therefore, this paper carries out a specific study on the research status and development trend of fine reservoir numerical simulation, hoping that this research can make more people understand the multi-disciplinary and one-dimensional The development trend of fine reservoir numerical simulation, which includes physical, high-speed, multi-functional integration and system coupling simulation.
