This paper documents that model simulations up to 10 million cells can be performed using parallel computing, allowing geologists and reservoir engineers to include more realistic geological detail for improved, more reliable production optimization. The parallelization of the simulator’s linear solver is critical to achieve calculation speed as more processors are used for a given model. Various approaches for solving the solution matrix in conjunction with various coloring and partitioning strategies are discussed, along with computing issues that arise when applying parallel processing to complex reservoir simulation models.
