A "Flogrid" Simulation Gridding Program is disclosed which includes a Flogrid "structured gridder". Input data is loaded into a Flogrid reservoir data store. The results generated by the reservoir data store are provided to the Flogrid reservoir framework. The reservoir framework is comprised of a structural model and a property model. The structural model will construct 3D structural models and the property model will create and edit properties. A Flogrid upgridder enables the user to group layers within a fine scale model into coarse layers, The results generated by the property model are input to the Flogrid "structured gridder" of this invention. The Flogrid "structured gridder" …

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 4, 1998 and granted June 13, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 4, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 4, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
