17.3 Simulator Selection and Ockham's Razor

Several requirements must be considered when selecting a simulator.
These requirements can be classified into two general categories: reservoir and
non-reservoir. From a reservoir perspective, we are interested in fluid type,
reservoir architecture, and the types of recovery processes or drive mechanisms
that are anticipated.
Reservoir architecture encompasses a variety of parameters that have a
major impact on model design. Study objectives and the geologic model must
be considered in establishing the dimensionality of the problem (1 D, 2D, or 3D)
