Determination of flow entities locations for operating a reservoir

A computer-implemented method for determining the locations of flow entities for operating a reservoir, the method comprising:

• Receiving a geological description of the reservoir;
• building a geographical graph comprising nodes and edges between nodes;
• wherein each node represents a flow entity location and is assigned geographic coordinates, and each edge represents relationships between adjacent nodes and is assigned a value of at least one edge property, the values of said property being derived from the geological description of the reservoir;
• implementing a deformation process on the geological graph;
• comprising:
• defining a geological quantity over the geological graph, being function of the spacing between the nodes and of the at least one edge property assigned to the edges of the graph;
• starting from initial coordinates of the nodes, adjusting the locations of the nodes based on the defined geological function;
• and
• outputting the adjusted flow entities locations as determined locations for operating the reservoir.
