Method for simulating the evolution of a reservoir due to dissolution

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for simulating the evolution of a reservoir due to dissolution within the reservoir includes representing the reservoir by a graph model comprising a plurality of nodes and connections between the nodes, wherein each node is associated with at least one geological parameter, simulating dissolution induced by a fluid flowing through the reservoir during a determined time period, wherein said simulating comprises computing updated values of geological parameters assigned to the nodes of the graph model as a consequence of said dissolution, and updating a topology of the graph model when a parameter of a node of the graph model satisfies a predefined condition.
