Summary

Generating a coarser volumetric description of the reservoir rock is a common task in reservoir engineering. This chapter discusses how to partition a fine grid model into a smaller set of coarse blocks. After the partition, the coarse blocks will each consist of a finite collection of cells from the underlying fine model. Through a series of examples, we demonstrate a variety of different partition methods. Whereas the simplest methods only utilize the geometry or topology of the grid, the more advanced methods can compute partitions that adapt to petrophysical properties, fluid contacts, flow fields, near-well regions, or underlying geological properties like depositional environments, flow units, rock types, etc.

A central limit theorem is established for additive functions of a Markov chain that can be constructed as an iterated random function. The result goes beyond earlier work by relaxing the continuity conditions imposed on the additive function, and by relaxing moment conditions related to the random function. It is illustrated by an application to a Markov chain related to fractals.

Technology developed in a predecessor paper (Chen and Seneta (1996)) is applied to provide, in a unified manner, a sharpening of bivariate Bonferroni-type bounds on P(v1≥r, v2≥u) obtained by Galambos and Lee (1992; upper bound) and Chen and Seneta (1986; lower bound).

We derive multivariate Sobel–Uppuluri–Galambos-type lower bounds for the probability that at least a1 and at least a2, and for the probability that exactly a1 and a2, out of n and N events, occur. The lower bound presented here reduces to a sharper bound than that of Galambos and Lee (1992). Our approach is by way of indicator functions and bivariate binomial moments. A new concept, marginal Bonferroni summation, is introduced in this paper.
