    Abstract: Method and systems for generating a reservoir simulation grid for a subterranean reservoir are disclosed. The method may include, using a reservoir simulation system, to obtain a reservoir model, where the reservoir model comprises a plurality of wellbore trajectories, define a coarse simulation grid pertaining to, at least a portion, of the reservoir model, and determine a grid refinement field based, at least in part, on the reservoir model. The method may further include, using a reservoir simulation system, to form a tree based on the coarse simulation grid, refine the tree at least in part, on an intersection of the grid refinement field and the coarse simulation grid, and define the reservoir simulation grid based, at least in part, on the refined tree and the coarse simulation grid.
