Modeling reservoir permeability is one of the crucial tasks in reservoir simulation studies.Traditionally,it is done by kriging-based methods.More rigorous modeling of the permeability results in more reliable outputs of the reservoir models.Recently,a new category of geostatistical methods has been used for this purpose,namely multiple point statistics (MPS).By this new category of permeability modeling methods,one is able to predict the heterogeneity of the reservoir permeability as a continuous variable.These methods consider the direction of property variation in addition to the distances of known locations of the property.In this study,the reservoir performance of a modified version of the SPE 10 solution project as a pioneer case is used for investigating the efficiency of these methods and paralleling them with the kriging-based one.In this way,the permeability texture concept is introduced by applying some MPS methods.This study is accomplished in the conditions of real reservoir dimensions and velocities for the whole reservoir life.A continuous training image is used as the input of calculation for the permeability modeling.The results show that the detailed permeability of the reservoir as a continuous variable makes the reservoir simulation show the same fluid front movement and flooding behavior of the reservoir similar to the reference case with the same permeability heterogeneity.Some MPS methods enable the reservoir simulation to reproduce the fluid flow complexities such as bypassing and oil trapping during water flooding similar to the reference case.Accordingly,total oil production is predicted with higher accuracy and lower uncertainty.All studied cases are identical except for the permeability texture.Even histograms and variograms of permeabilities for the studied reservoir are quite similar,but the performance of the reservoir shows that kriging-based method results have slightly less accuracy than some MPS methods.Meanwhile,it results in lower uncertainty in outputs for this water flooding case performance.
