Popis: Summary Large full-field simulations have not previously been feasible with equation-of-state (EOS) compositional models. This paper describes an approach for efficient EOS calculations. The approach is based on a model formulation that minimizes the number of calculations together with vector processing to maximize the calculation rate. Tests of a simulator based on the approach show that large problems can now be solved. For example, a problem composed of nine components, 20, 000 gridpoints, and 1, 000 timesteps can be solved in as little as 15 minutes of CPU time.
