TL;DRAbstract

Simulation of thermal oil recovery processes is foremost based on fully implicit grid-based methods.However, these methods have been criticized in terms of their insufficient flexibility to afford alignment with flow features and in high computational cost.The streamline-based method offers a viable alternative to grid-based models if the reservoir heterogeneity and fluid mobility dominate the displacement mechanisms.This dissertation describes the development and verification of new streamline-based simulators for thermal oil recovery processes.My first gratitude goes to the Almighty God for granting me the strength, courage and perseverance to complete this work.I feel extremely privileged to have the opportunity to pursue a doctoral degree at Waseda, as well as to be involved in such an exciting research topic.I am
