Abstract: The invention is a method for operating a hydrocarbon deposit by injection of gas in foam form, comprising determining a model of displacement of the foam which is a function of an optimal mobility reduction factor of the gas and at least one interpolation function dependent on a parameter and constants to be calibrated. The mobility reduction factor of the gas is determined and the constants of at least one interpolation function are calibrated from experimental measurements comprising injections of gas in non-foaming form and in foam form into a sample of the deposit for different values of the parameter relative to the function being considered. Measurements of headloss corresponding to each value of the parameter of the interpolation function are considered. The calibration of the constants is performed interpolation function by interpolation function.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for exploiting (EX) a geological reservoir according to an exploitation scheme (SE) defined on the basis of a matched reservoir model (CAL) with static data and dynamic data. For this method, a first reservoir model (MR) displaying a certain consistency with respect to the flow properties of the medium is preselected. This preselected model (MR) is then used as starting point for the history matching process (CAL).

Abstract: A method for optimizing the development of a fluid reservoir by means of an accelerated reservoir study. A geological model is constructed. A reservoir model is then constructed by upscaling the geological model. The links between cells of the geological model and a cell of the reservoir model where they are contained are determined and stored. Flow simulations are carried out by computer-implemented reservoir simulator, the reservoir model and the links. The above stages are then repeated without repeating the link determination, by modifying parameters of the reservoir study to optimize the development scheme. Finally, the reservoir is developed according to this optimized development scheme.

Abstract: The invention IS a method for exploiting (EXP) a geological reservoir by using a reservoir model consistent with a geological model (MG). Reservoir models (MRn) are constructed by using different upscaling methods. By utilization of a connectivity study, conducted on the basis of an algorithm resolving the shortest path (DIS) applied to the meshings, the main flowpaths are identified between the wells for the geological model (MG) and for the different reservoir models (MRn). The reservoir model (MR) for which the lengths of the main flowpaths between wells are closest to those obtained for the starting geological model is then selected.
