How to use a flowchart template.
- 01Define simulation objectives
Clarify the business question, such as history matching or production forecasting, to set the workflow scope.
- 02Map data inputs and preprocessing
Identify required static and dynamic data, including grid, properties, PVT, and well controls.
- 03Build the simulation loop
Add the run, check convergence, and iterate on model updates with clear decision branches.
- 04Incorporate uncertainty or calibration
Add parallel branches for multiple realizations or history matching loops.
- 05Validate and finalize
Review the workflow with stakeholders, then export for documentation or integration.
Questions about flowchart templates
What is a reservoir simulation workflow?
It is a structured sequence of steps used to build, run, and analyze a reservoir simulation model, typically covering data preparation, model construction, history matching, prediction, and uncertainty assessment.
Why use a flowchart for reservoir simulation?
A flowchart makes the workflow transparent, highlights dependencies and decision points, and helps teams align on modeling steps and quality checks.
Can I include uncertainty quantification in the flowchart?
Yes. You can add branches for multiple geological realizations, sensitivity cases, or Monte Carlo loops to represent uncertainty.
What are common stages in a reservoir simulation workflow?
Common stages are static model building, dynamic model setup, history matching, prediction/forecasting, and uncertainty analysis. The exact stages vary by project.
How do I customize the flowchart for my project?
Use the generator to start from one of the example workflows, then edit nodes, add decision points, or reorder steps to match your asset team's process.
