Advanced Modeling with the MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox

Presents advanced reservoir simulation methods used in the widely-used MRST open-source software for researchers, professionals, students.

A follow-up to An Introduction to Reservoir Simulation using MATLAB/GNU Octave, this book introduces more advanced functionality recently added to the open-source MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox (MRST). Like the original textbook, it will be invaluable for researchers, professionals and advanced students using reservoir simulation methods.Many leading experts contribute to this follow-up to An Introduction to Reservoir Simulation using MATLAB/GNU Octave: User Guide for the MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox (MRST). It introduces more advanced functionality that has been recently added to the open-source MRST software. It is however a self-contained introduction to a variety of modern numerical methods for simulating multiphase flow in porous media, with applications to geothermal energy, chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR), flow in fractured and unconventional reservoirs, and in the unsaturated zone. The reader will learn how to implement new models and algorithms in a robust, efficient manner. A large number of numerical examples are included, all fully equipped with code and data so that the reader can reproduce the results and use them as a starting point for their own work. Like the original textbook, this book will prove invaluable for researchers, professionals and advanced students using reservoir simulation methods. This title is available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
