Abstract
The invention relates to a method for exploiting a geological reservoir which may be a reservoir storing gas (for example CO2). The exploitation (EX) of the geological reservoir is carried out according to an exploitation scheme (SE) defined on the basis of a reservoir model (MR) with the reservoir model being matched (CAL) in relation to dynamic data (DD). According to the invention, the reservoir model (MR) is made representative by a multiple-scale parameterization, with at least two reservoir models (MR1, MR2) that have a different number of mesh cells.

A method for exploiting a geological reservoir according to an exploitation scheme defined by a reservoir model, the reservoir model comprising a grid associated with at least one parameter of the reservoir, in which static data are measured within the reservoir and dynamic data are acquired during exploitation, comprising:
- a) constructing the reservoir model by:
- i) providing a first initial reservoir model, including a first grid comprising a number N1 of mesh cells and at least one second initial reservoir model including a second grid comprising a number N2 of mesh cells, with N2 being greater than N1, generated stochastically according to the static data, the stochastic generation of the second model being conditional on the generation of the first model;
- ii) scaling the second model to a simulation reservoir model which is usable by a flow simulator;
- iii) determining an objective function measuring a deviation between the acquired dynamic data and dynamic data simulated by the simulation reservoir model and a flow simulator;
- iv) reiterating the steps ii) and iii) to minimize the objective function after modification of at least one of the first and second reservoir models and by applying the modification to an unmodified model of the first and second reservoir models;
- b) determining an optimum exploitation scheme for the reservoir by simulating the exploitation of the reservoir by the second reservoir model and the flow simulator;
- and
- c) exploiting the reservoir by implementing the optimum exploitation scheme.
