Abstract
A method is disclosed for performing optimal gridding in reservoir simulation, the method comprising: establishing an optimal coarse grid proxy that can replace all or parts of a fine grid with a coarse grid while preserving an accuracy of a predefined simulation model output, the step of establishing an optimal coarse grid proxy including finding, by using an optimizer, a best fit of a coarse grid output to the output of a training set.
