Full-EoS based thermal multiphase compositional simulation of CO₂ and steam injection processes

Several compositional reservoir simulators based on equations of state (EoS) have been designed. Yet, few of them can deal with thermal processes such as steam injection and no fully compositional thermal simulation of the steam injection process has been proposed with extra-heavy oils yet. Those simulations appear essential and will offer...

High performance framework for modelling of complex subsurface flow and transport applications

Numerical modelling of multiphase multicomponent flow coupled with mass and energy transport in porous media is crucially important for many applications including oil recovery, carbon storage and geothermal. To deliver robust simulation results, a fully or adaptive implicit method is usually employed, creating a highly nonlinear system of...
