Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2253797A1] The method involves simulating flow of fluids within a porous medium using a simulator over a time interval defined between times, and deducing conditions at updated limits for another simulator. The flow of fluids is simulated near a well using the latter simulator over the same time interval by using the conditions at the updated limits, and updated digital productivity indices are deduced for the former simulator. The flow of fluids is modeled within the porous medium during a time period between the times by repeating simulations for successive time intervals between the times. An independent claim is also included for a method for exploiting a porous underground reservoir using a well.
