Simulation of the oil and gas flow toward a well - A stability analysis

A radial semi-implicit model of two-phase (oil-gas) flow toward a well is developed by creatively modifying the IMPES black-oil model. Traditional black-oil models consider the well as a source term in the differential equations with the hypothesis of single-phase flow, whereas this model considers...
