Title:
MACHINE, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT AND METHOD TO CARRY OUT PARALLEL RESERVOIR SIMULATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/033693
Kind Code:
A4
Abstract:
A machine, computer program product, and method to enable scalable parallel reservoir simulations for a variety of simulation model sizes are described herein. Some embodiments of the disclosed invention include a machine, methods, and implemented software for performing parallel processing of a grid defining a reservoir or oil/gas field using a plurality of sub-domains for the reservoir simulation, a parallel process of re-ordering a local cell index for each of the plurality of cells using characteristics of the cell and location within the at least one sub-domain and a parallel process of simulating at least one production characteristic of the reservoir.
