This lecture is designed to answer some essential questions related to reservoir simulation among others:
What is a model and what types of models do exist?
What is a simulation/a reservoir simulation?
Why do we need a reservoir simulation?
What is the mathematical basis for the reservoir models, what are the equations that govern the simulation model? What are the techniques to solve these equations?
What are the types of simulation models?
What are the data required for simulation?
What are the applications of reservoir simulation? Why do we need a reservoir simulation?
