Abstract:
1. A machine to simulate one or more production characteristics of an oil or gas reservoir, the oil and gas reservoir being defined by a plurality of grid cells, the plurality of grids cells being partitioned into a plurality of sub-domains, each sub-domain containing at least a portion of the plurality of grid cells, the machine comprising: a plurality of application servers having one or more processors and a non-transitory memory, each of the plurality of application servers being assigned one or more sub-domains; and a computer-readable medium, operable on the memory of the plurality of application servers, the computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed cause the applications servers to perform a process of re-ordering a local cell identification reference for each of the plurality of grid cells using characteristics of each of the plurality of grid cell and a location of each of the plurality of grid cells within the one or more sub-domains and a process of simulating at least one production characteristic of the reservoir; the applications servers, when executing the instructions, performing the steps of:
