50 results about "Reservoir simulation" patented technology

Reservoir simulation is an area of reservoir engineering in which computer models are used to predict the flow of fluids (typically, oil, water, and gas) through porous media. Under the model in the broad scientific sense of the word, they understand a real or mentally created structure that reproduces or reflects the object being studied. The name of the model comes from the Latin word modulus, which means “measure, pattern”. Modeling is one of the main methods of knowledge of nature and society. It is widely used in technology and is an important step in the implementation of scientific and technological progress.
