Claim Text:
1. A method of dynamic reservoir simulation comprising: a) partitioning, via a computing processor, a reservoir geometry into one or more grid-blocks in 1D, 2D or 3D space; b) assigning fluid and rock properties to one or more grid-blocks; c) assigning boundary conditions and well properties to one or more grid-blocks; d) solving pressure, material balance, and energy balance equations wherein the pressure equation and material balance equation are solved by finite difference (FD) method and the energy balance equation is solved by discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method to determine temperature of the one or more grid-blocks; and e) simulating fluid flow across one or more grid-blocks by using results from the solved pressure, material balance, and energy balance equations.
