The demand for accurate and efficient simulation of geomechanical effects is widely increasing in the geoscience community. High resolution characterizations of the mechanical properties of subsurface formations are essential for improving modeling predictions. Such detailed descriptions impose severe computational challenges and motivate the development of multiscale solution strategies. We propose a multiscale solution framework for the geomechanical equilibrium problem of heterogeneous porous media based on the finite-element method. After imposing a coarse-scale grid on the given fine-scale problem, the coarse-scale basis functions are obtained by solving local equilibrium problems within coarse elements. These basis functions form the restriction and prolongation operators used to obtain the coarse-scale system for the displacement-vector. Then, a two-stage preconditioner that couples the multiscale system with a smoother is derived for the iterative solution of the fine-scale linear system. Various numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate accuracy and robustness of the method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: An Algebraic Multiscale Solver (AMS) for the pressure equations arising from incompressible flow in heterogeneous porous media is described. In addition to the fine-scale system of equations, AMS requires information about the superimposed multiscale (dual and primal) coarse grids. AMS employs a global solver only at the coarse scale and allows for several types of local preconditioners at the fine scale. The convergence properties of AMS are studied for various combinations of global and local stages. These include MultiScale Finite-Element (MSFE) and MultiScale Finite-Volume (MSFV) methods as the global stage, and Correction Functions (CF), Block Incomplete Lower–Upper factorization (BILU), and ILU as local stages. The performance of the different preconditioning options is analyzed for a wide range of challenging test cases. The best overall performance is obtained by combining MSFE and ILU as the global and local preconditioners, respectively, followed by MSFV to ensure local mass conservation. Comparison between AMS and a widely used Algebraic MultiGrid (AMG) solver [1] indicates that AMS is quite efficient. A very important advantage of AMS is that a conservative fine-scale velocity can be constructed after any MSFV stage. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: An iterative multiscale finite volume (i-MSFV) method is devised for the simulation of multiphase flow in fractured porous media in the context of a hierarchical fracture modeling framework. Motivated by the small pressure change inside highly conductive fractures, the fully coupled system is split into smaller systems, which are then sequentially solved. This splitting technique results in only one additional degree of freedom for each connected fracture network appearing in the matrix system. It can be interpreted as an agglomeration of highly connected cells; similar as in algebraic multigrid methods. For the solution of the resulting algebraic system, an i-MSFV method is introduced. In addition to the local basis and correction functions, which were previously developed in this framework, local fracture functions are introduced to accurately capture the fractures at the coarse scale. In this multiscale approach there exists one fracture function per network and local domain, and in the coarse scale problem there appears only one additional degree of freedom per connected fracture network. Numerical results are presented for validation and verification of this new iterative multiscale approach for fractured porous media, and to investigate its computational efficiency. Finally, it is demonstrated that the new method is an effective multiscale approach for simulations of realistic multiphase flows in fractured heterogeneous porous media. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

An efficient multiscale (MS) gradient computation method for subsurface flow management and optimization is introduced. The general, algebraic framework allows for the calculation of gradients using both the Direct and Adjoint derivative methods. The framework also allows for the utilization of any MS formulation that can be algebraically expressed in terms of a restriction and a prolongation operator. This is achieved via an implicit differentiation formulation. The approach favors algorithms for multiplying the sensitivity matrix and its transpose with arbitrary vectors. This provides a flexible way of computing gradients in a form suitable for any given gradient-based optimization algorithm. No assumption w.r.t. the nature of the problem or specific optimization parameters is made. Therefore, the framework can be applied to any gradient-based study. In the implementation, extra partial derivative information required by the gradient computation is computed via automatic differentiation. A detailed utilization of the framework using the MS Finite Volume (MSFV) simulation technique is presented. Numerical experiments are performed to demonstrate the accuracy of the method compared to a fine-scale simulator. In addition, an asymptotic analysis is presented to provide an estimate of its computational complexity. The investigations show that the presented method casts an accurate and efficient MS gradient computation strategy that can be successfully utilized in next-generation reservoir management studies.

This paper presents the development of an Adaptive Algebraic Multiscale Solver for Compressible flow (C-AMS) in heterogeneous porous media. Similar to the recently developed AMS for incompressible (linear) flows (Wang et al., 2014) [19] , C-AMS operates by defining primal and dual-coarse blocks on top of the fine-scale grid. These coarse grids facilitate the construction of a conservative (finite volume) coarse-scale system and the computation of local basis functions, respectively. However, unlike the incompressible (elliptic) case, the choice of equations to solve for basis functions in compressible problems is not trivial. Therefore, several basis function formulations (incompressible and compressible, with and without accumulation) are considered in order to construct an efficient multiscale prolongation operator. As for the restriction operator, C-AMS allows for both multiscale finite volume (MSFV) and finite element (MSFE) methods. Finally, in order to resolve high-frequency errors, fine-scale (pre- and post-) smoother stages are employed. In order to reduce computational expense, the C-AMS operators (prolongation, restriction, and smoothers) are updated adaptively. In addition to this, the linear system in the Newton–Raphson loop is infrequently updated. Systematic numerical experiments are performed to determine the effect of the various options, outlined above, on the C-AMS convergence behaviour. An efficient C-AMS strategy for heterogeneous 3D compressible problems is developed based on overall CPU times. Finally, C-AMS is compared against an industrial-grade Algebraic MultiGrid (AMG) solver. Results of this comparison illustrate that the C-AMS is quite efficient as a nonlinear solver, even when iterated to machine accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Iterative multiscale gradient algorithms provide up to fine-scale accuracy gradients. • Gradient accuracy can be controlled via the i-MSFV tolerance. • Accurate gradients are obtained for challenging, high permeability contrast models. • The accuracy control can be used to speed-up the computations. We introduce a semi-analytical iterative multiscale derivative computation methodology that allows for error control and reduction to any desired accuracy, up to fine-scale precision. The model responses are computed by the multiscale forward simulation of flow in heterogeneous porous media. The derivative computation method is based on the augmentation of the model equation and state vectors with the smoothing stage defined by the iterative multiscale method. In the formulation, we avoid additional complexity involved in computing partial derivatives associated to the smoothing step. We account for it as an approximate derivative computation stage. The numerical experiments illustrate how the newly introduced derivative method computes misfit objective function gradients that converge to fine-scale one as the iterative multiscale residual converges. The robustness of the methodology is investigated for test cases with high contrast permeability fields. The iterative multiscale gradient method casts a promising approach, with minimal accuracy-efficiency tradeoff, for large-scale heterogeneous porous media optimization problems.

We develop the first multiscale method for fully implicit (FIM) simulations of multiphase flow in porous media, namely CPR-MS method. Built on the FIM Jacobian matrix, the pressure system is obtained by employing a Constrained Pressure Residual (CPR) operator. Multiscale Finite Element (MSFE) and Finite Volume (MSFV) methods are then formulated algebraically to obtain efficient and accurate solutions of this pressure equation. The multiscale prediction stage (first-stage) is coupled with a corrector stage (second-stage) employed on the full system residual. The converged solution is enhanced through outer GMRES iterations preconditioned by these first and second stage operators. While the second-stage FIM stage is solved using a classical iterative solver, the multiscale stage is investigated in full detail. Several choices for fine-scale pre- and post-smoothing along with different choices of coarse-scale solvers are considered for a range of heterogeneous three-dimensional cases with capillarity and three-phase systems. The CPR-MS method is the first of its kind, and extends the applicability of the so-far developed multiscale methods (both MSFE and MSFV) to displacements with strong coupling terms.
