RESERVOIR SIMULATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

The present disclosure describes an efficient process through which knowledge gleaned from prior reservoir simulations may be captured and applied to future simulations with or without user involvement. A plurality of reservoir simulation categories may be defined and stored to a database. In one embodiment, reservoir simulation data may be captured and analyzed in order to identify process steps and/or workflows for each category of stored reservoir simulations. Upon starting a new reservoir simulation, the system may identify the category of the simulation at issue and query the database in order to identify stored process steps and/or workflows applicable thereto. The stored process steps and/or workflows may then be applied to the new reservoir simulation automatically or by providing suggestions and/or recommendation to the user.
