Model Purpose
Abstract
Should we aspire to build detailed full-field reservoir models with a view
to using the resulting models to answer a variety of business questions?
In this chapter it is suggested the answer to the above question is 'no'.
Instead we argue the case for building for fit-for-purpose models, which
may or may not be detailed and may or may not be full-field.
This choice triggers the question: 'what is the purpose?' It is the answer
to this question which determines the model design.
