abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">The simulation of realistic multiphase flow problems in petroleum
reservoirs requires means for handling the complicated structure of the 
reservoirs such as complex boundaries, faults, fractures, and horizontal wells. A
numerical reservoir simulator has recently been developed to be able to handle
these features for a wide range of applications. This fully implicit simulator
is based on a three-dimensional, three-phase black oil model. It can also be
used to solve a dual-porosity, dual-permeability black oil model in a fractured
reservoir. The space discretization method used in this simulator is based on
a block-centered finite difference method with harmonic averaged coefficients
(equivalently, a mixed finite element method). In this paper we report an
application of this simulator to a problem involving injection and production
from horizontal wells in a reservoir where a coning tendency is important, and
present a benchmark comparison with other simulators by fourteen petroleum
organizations.</p>},
