Generalized Equation of State Model Reservoir Simulator
GEM is a full Equation of State compositional reservoir

simulator with advanced features for modelling recovery
processes where the fluid composition affects recovery.
GEM also models Asphaltenes, Coal Bed Methane and the
Geochemistry for the sequestration of various gases including
Acid Gases and CO2.
GEM provides reservoir simulation capabilities that go beyond the
abilities of conventional black oil and K-value compositional simulators,
including the effects of asphaltene precipitation and plugging. It is also
the industrys leading Coal Bed Methane (CBM) simulator, as it can
provide accurate early time water and methane production predictions, as
well as multi-component production predictions for Enhanced CBM
(ECBM) recovery. The ECBM features include extended Langmuir
Isotherms to model the preferential adsorption of CO2 and other gases
and models for coal shrinkage and swelling. The extensive capabilities for
representing asphaltene behavior and geochemical effects make GEM the
most robust compositional simulator available today.
The following is a general list of applications of GEM:
Hydrocarbon and Acid Gas Injection
Primary & Enhanced Coal Bed Methane
Multiple contact miscibility
Primary Depletion

Performance Enhancing Features

DynaGrid (Dynamic Gridding) fully dynamic grid refinement and
amalgamation. This unique feature places small grid blocks in the
model where and when required and large blocks throughout the
remainder of the model. Typical model run time decreases range
from 2 to 5 times.
Parrallel Processing multi-CPU parrallel processing is supported
providing significant decreases in model run times. CMGs unique
parallellization method enables ANY model to be parallellized
regardless of the complexity of the grid or the location of wells.
ParaDyne this powerful combination of parallel processing and
dynamic gridding multiplies the run time reduction factors from both
options, resulting in reductions of 3 to 30 times depending on model
parameters and number of CPUs utilized.
