Abstract
Summary: This paper presents numerical techniques for the simulation of reservoir systems characterized by a nondiagonal tensor representation of areal permeability. A nine-point method of discretization for calculating reservoir flow and a well-inflow model based on the concept of equivalent wellblock radius are presented.Keywords
