A base-case channel complex model is built at the resolution of individual sandstone beds. The distribution of porosity and permeability within these beds mimics grain-size trends of fining in the vertical and lateral directions. The influence of various geological parameters and modelling choices on reservoir performance has been assessed through water-flood flow simulation modelling. Omission of the compression method, and the bed-scale hierarchical level in reservoir models, leads to a three-fold and two-fold increase in oil recovery at water-breakthrough respectively, because of overly-connected flow units at all hierarchical levels.
