Abstract
The fully implicit coupling of surface facilities with a reservoir model can lead to a significant increase in computing time. The focus of this paper is on the development of methods that can minimize the impact of the facility model on the global solution procedure. A local grid refinement preconditioner is developed to accelerate convergence of the full flow field implicit simulation.
