Streamline-based reservoir characterization Using tracer tests and two phase fluid flow

 abstract = { Streamline techniques are widely used in many reservoir engineering applications. The streamline technology
consists in decomposing a 3D domain into a number of one-dimensional lines along which complex
calculations (fluid flow, diffusion, thermal evolution) are done. The streamline approach offers substantial
computational efficiency and numerical accuracy compared to traditional finite-element methods
because it transforms a 3D diffusive problem into several 1D problems.
Tracer injection is a common technique used to characterize reservoirs. Tracer transport was modelled
along 3D streamlines using high order resolution scheme followed as a post-treatment by a shock
detecting method to reduce numerical diffusion. Two-phase incompressible and immiscible fluid flow
(black oil model) equations were solved to simulate petroleum secondary recovery. High order resolution
scheme were also used to eliminate numerical diffusion. These approaches were validated on simple
cases for which solutions are known. },
