The geological input to three-dimensional reservoir simulation must consist of structural maps and property maps. Typically, maps must be prepared for every simulation model layer, specifying the distribution of net/gross, isochores, porosity, horizontal and vertical permeability, [[capillary pressure]] curve characteristics, and water saturation ([[:file:reservoir-modeling-for-simulation-purposes_fig5.png|Figure 5]]). Also, the geologist and the reservoir engineer have to cooperate to define pseudo-[[relative permeability]] curves for different internal grid block heterogeneity types. The matching phase of the simulation study requires similar cooperation to arrive at a final model with realistic properties.
