Compositional reservoir models have many uses, including petroleum reservoir simulation,
the simulation of flow and remediation of nonaqueous petroleum liquids, and the study of …

Unconventional shale gas reservoirs require stimulation via hydraulic fracturing of pre-
existing fracture networks for practical exploitation, creating a stimulated reservoir volume …

Determining optimal locations and operation parameters for wells in oil and gas reservoirs
has a potentially high economic impact. Finding these optima depends on a complex …

Linear solvers for reservoir simulation applications are the objective of this review.
Specifically, we focus on techniques for Fully Implicit (FI) solution methods, in which the set …

Numerical simulation integrates extensive geoscience and engineering data with complex
process models to examine reservoir behavior. Reservoir studies commonly consider many …

Fully implicit black-oil simulations result in huge, often very-ill-conditioned, linear systems of
equations for different unknowns (eg, pressure and saturations). It is well-known that the …

A primary challenge for a new generation of reservoir simulators is the accurate description
of multiphase flow in highly heterogeneous media and very complex geometries. However …

In this paper we consider fully mass-conservative numerical schemes for the simulation of
incompressible and immiscible two-phase flow in porous media with capillary pressure …

In this article, we study two-phase fluid flow in coupled free flow and porous media regions.
The model consists of coupled Cahn–Hilliard and Navier–Stokes equations in the free fluid …

Simulation of multiphase poromechanics involves solving a multiphysics problem in which
multiphase flow and transport are tightly coupled with the porous medium deformation. To …
