摘要

Grid generation for reservoir simulation, must honour classical key geological features and multilateral wells. The features to be honoured are classified into two groups; (1) involving layers, faults, pinchouts and fractures, and (2) involving well distributions. In the former, control-volume boundary aligned grids (BAGs) are required, while in the latter, control-point (defined as the centroid of the control-volume) well aligned grids (WAGs) are required. Depending on discretization method type and formulation, a choice of control-point and control-volume type is made, i.e. for a cell-centered method the primal grid cells act as control-volumes, otherwise for a vertex-centered method the dual-grid cells act as control-volumes. Novel three-dimensional unstructured grid generation methods are proposed that automate control-volume boundary alignment to geological features and control point alignment to complex wells, yielding essentially perpendicular bisector (PEBI) meshes either with respect to primal or dual-cells depending on grid type. Both grid types use tetrahedra, pyramids, prisms and hexahedra as grid elements. Primal-cell feature aligned grids are generated using special boundary surface protection techniques together with constrained cell-centered well trajectory alignment. Dual-cell feature aligned grids are generated from underlying primal-meshes, whereby features are protected such that dual-cell control-volume faces are aligned with interior feature boundaries, together with protected vertex-centered (control point) well trajectory alignment. The novel methods of grid generation presented enable practical application of both method types in 3-D for the first time. The primal and dual grids generated here demonstrate the gridding methods, and enable the first comparative performance study of cell-vertex versus cell centered control-volume distributed multi-point flux approximation (CVD-MPFA) finite-volume formulations using equivalent mesh resolution on challenging problems in 3-D. Pressure fields computed by the cell-centered and vertex-centered CVD-MPFA schemes are compared and contrasted relative to the respective degrees of freedom employed, and demonstrate the relative benefits of each approximation type. Stability limits of the methods are also explored. For a given mesh the cell-vertex method uses approximately a fifth of the unknowns used by a cell-centered method and proves to be the most beneficial with respect to accuracy and efficiency. Numerical results show that vertex-centered CVD-MPFA methods outperform cell-centered CVD-MPFA method. Crown Copyright (C) 2020 Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
