The most common fallacy in the quest for the optimum stimulation treatment in shale plays
across the country is to treat them all just like the Barnett Shale. There is no doubt that the …

Simulation of multiphase flow in porous media is crucial for the effective management of
subsurface energy and environment-related activities. The numerical simulators used for …

With the explosion of computational power and development of new and advanced
simulation techniques, reservoir simulation has evolved into a mature technology. Today's …

Discretization methods are proposed for control-volume formulations on polygonal and
triangular grid cells in two space dimensions. The methods are applicable for any system of …

Injection of chemically tuned brines into carbonate reservoirs has been reported to enhance
oil recovery by 5–30% original oil in place (OOIP) in coreflooding experiments and field …

Triangle based discretization techniques offer great advantages relative to standard finite
difference methods for the modeling of flow through geometrically complex geological …

The accuracy of the Darcy velocity, flux, and stream function computed from lowest‐order,
triangle‐based, control volume and mixed finite element approximations to the two …

Recently, a flexible gridding technique known as Voronoi or perpendicular bisection (PEBI)
grid has received some attention in the petroleum literature. The main advantage of this grid …

We present a novel mixed-dimensional method for generating unstructured polyhedral grids
that conform to prescribed geometric objects in arbitrary dimensions. Two types of conformity …

Reservoir simulators have long become primary reservoir engineering tools for simulating
fluid flow in porous media, recovery analyses and performance evaluation in the oil and gas …
