Abstract
To obtain worthwhile gains from massively parallel computers in the area of reservoir simulation we require a high degree of parallelisation and efficient treatment of data input and output. We discuss a domain-based approach in which the reservoir is split into areally defined domains, each treating its own cells and wells. A message passing protocol such as PVM is used as the programming model.
