Base cycle of development (Cycle 0)

[FoamScience]

By the end of this development phase, we should have parallel-ready, fully-tested, fully-coupled solvers for

• Basic single-phase Darcy flow in heterogeneous mediums (No coupling obviously).
• Two phase BlackOil flow in unsaturated reservoirs (mainly water-oil flow)

The supporting library should provide the following functionality:

Simulation model formulation and implementation

• Rock-dependent capillary and relative-permeability profiles

EOR Enhancements

• A Base Polymer model

Mesh/Geology

• Basic support for Corner Grid from Schlumberger's Eclipse input including fault and region multipliers.

Wells control

• BHP-controled and/or (Reservoir)Rate-imposed wells.
• Well Groups/Clusters.
• Operations on individual well perforation levels.

IO format

• Logging and visualization of well-specific data and traditional reservoir-engineering parameters.

Simulation/Numerics methods

• Fully-implicit Fully-coupled equations
• Inspection of benefits of Dual-TimeStepping.
