Applying Massively Parallel Interface for MPFA scheme with advanced linearization for fluid flow in porous media

We apply Massively Parallel Interface for MPFA-O scheme with state-of-the-art Operator-Based Linearization (OBL) approach for multiphase flow in porous media. The implementation of MPFA-O scheme enhances the modelling capabilities for non-K-orthogonal mesh. A fully implicit scheme is applied to guarantee the stability of solutions when a mass...

Coupling of rigorous multiphase flash with advanced linearization schemes for accurate compositional simulation

The properties of fluids flowing in a petroleum reservoir are quantified by understanding the thermodynamic behavior of each flowing phase in the system. This work describes proper techniques to formulate and execute a thermodynamic model for accurately predicting the equilibrium behavior of oil-gas-brine systems within the practical range of...

Parallel Framework for Complex Reservoir Simulation with AdvancedDiscretization and Linearization Schemes

The continuous progress of reservoir monitoring technology provides encouraging capacities to reduceuncertainties in the subsurface characterization and to mitigate risks in field development applying thereservoir simulation approach. However, it is always challenging to take full advantage of the observationdata, since an accurate...
