Corner Point Vs Block Centered Cartesian Grid

• BC geometry does not contain enough

information to calculate the
overlapping area between
neighbouring cells (depth of cell
corners is unknown).
• Fluids flow between neighbouring
cells (following the i,j,k indexing) so a
connection needs to be established
manually.

• Not necessarily orthogonal but sloping

surfaces, fault planes, pinchouts, and
erosion surfaces can be represented
correctly.
• CP geometry contains enough
information to calculate the overlap
between adjacent cells since the cell
corner depths are known.
• Non-Neighbour Connections (NNC) are
defined
Case A : Reservoir under Volumetric Depletion

For volumetric depletion We = 0 therefore we get conatant F/Et vs Np

and that constant value is the value of N
Np
Case C : If a Weak Aquifer is detected

Aquifer Pore Volume

Case C : If a Strong Aquifer is detected
Case C : If a Strong Aquifer and gas cap are present
