An integrated flow model combines a traditional flow model with a petrophysical model. Integrated flow models simplify the data transfer process between disciplines, enhance consensus building, and provide performance predictions in a format that is familiar to subsurface resource managers. They are a natural extension of the model-centric methods that are now being used in the geosciences.
Integrated Flow Modeling presents the formulation, development, and application of an integrated flow simulator (IFLO). IFLO input data sets and an executable version of IFLO provided with the text. The text-software combination provides the resources needed to convey both theoretical concepts and practical skills to geoscientists and engineers.
