Compositional simulation using a new streamline method

Streamline methods have been used for numerical approximation of the mathematical model for fluid flow since the 1800's and have been applied in petroleum engineering since the late 1950's. For reservoir simulation, however, finite differente simulators have always been the norm. Recently, streamline methods have emerged as an alternative to finite differente simulation for large, heterogeneous modeas that are difficult for traditional simulators to model adequately. 1,2,3,4,5
