17 Math issues For single-phase flows Darcy law leads to linear equation: p Φ µ C div( K( x). p) = f t For multi-phase flow we recover nonlinear equtions: hyperbolic, degenerate parabolic etc.. 7

18 Math issues The mathematical model is a system of PDE with appropriate initial and boundary conditions the coefficients of the equations are poorly known stochastic approach geology + stochastic = geostatistic K( x, ω) 8

19 Uncertainty SPDE: p div ( K ( x, ω ). p) = f t These problems are difficult: experimental design approach Grand projet incertitude Industrial tools 9

20 Uncertainty We need to compute too much flow simulation Grids are large: millions of cells Hindered ensemble-based based prediction 20

21 Uncertainty Work in progress : Zhang, Tchelepi Tom Russell, Jarnan Cho, Lindquist J Glimm et al. 2

22 Math issue Cho, Lindquist : ensemble-based based prediction using Buckley-Leverett equation 22

23 Dead-oil model Two immiscible phases: water and oil one component in each phase incompressibility p c p = pressure of the oil phase p capillary pressure water/oil cw ρw and ρo are constant 23

24 Dead-oil model Dead-oil equations: Q = Q + Q w o pressure equation krw kro krw krw kro div[ K ( + ) p ] = div ( K pc ) + div ( K ( + ) g D) + Q µ µ µ µ µo w o w w saturation equation S Φ + div q w = t Q w 24

25 Buckley-Leverett No capillary pressure, no gravity,, no source term in pressure equation: p = 0, g = 0, Q = 0, q + q = q = const c w o T Buckley-Leverett Leverett: dim= x krw kro p [ K ( + ) ] = 0 ; µ µ x w w o krw kro p K ( + ) = q µ µ x o T 25

26 Buckley-Leverett We obtain: with: S Φ + qt Fw( S) = 0 t x krw µ w Fw ( S) = = water fractional flow krw kro + µ µ w o 26

27 Buckley-Leverett A particular case of: with: f S + f ( S) = 0 t x S( x,0) = S ( x) (.) the flux function Method of characteristics o 27

28 Buckley-Leverett Quasilinear equation: S f S f + = 0; a( S) = t S x S S S + a( S) = 0 t x a(.) and S (.) are piecewise C o 28

29 Buckley-Leverett Characteristic curves : dx ( ) dt = as quasilinear equation means S constant along characteristic curves slope of characteristic curves constant: curves are straight lines the value of S in (x,t) equal the value at t=0 29

30 Buckley-Leverett When characteristic curves intersect, we obtain shoks weack solutions, existence but unicity? Entropy conditions to select the physical solution: Lax, Oleinik.. 30

31 Buckley-Leverett Some conclusions obtained by Cho,Lindquist Lindquist: for oil-cut cut, peak production uncertainty shortly after mean breackthrough accuracy of ensembles mean results behave according to central limit theorem history matching improve the relative error,, but not that much 3

32 upscaling We present now a new approch for upscaling first applied for single phase flow and a possible strategy to tackle Buckley Leverett model 32
