Margot GerritsenApproved for the mittee on Graduate Studies:_______________________________________ivvAbstractWith the explosion putational power and development of new and advancedsimulation techniques, reservoir simulation has evolved into a mature ’s simulator is more robust, plex and more useful than what wasavailable twenty years ago. Modern simulators incorporate a large variety of options andthey can be used to answer important questions about reservoir management. Under thesecircumstances, a good design for the simulator is essential. So the first objective of thisresearch is to develop a new General Purpose Research Simulator (GPRS), which can beused later by a large research group to preserve and enhance the work of severalinvestigators over a period of positional simulation is the major focus of this research. It is plex thanblack-oil simulation due to the large number ponents and various issues related toflash calculations. Because of plexity, a large number positio
