==Definition and characteristics of flow units==
A ''flow unit'' is defined as a mappable portion of the total reservoir within which geological and petrophysical properties that affect the flow of fluids are consistent and predictably different from the properties of other reservoir rock volumes (modified from <ref name=pt06r31 />). Flow units have the following characteristics in common:
