Abstract for CRPC TR 92-224-V 
"PIERS: The Movie", by Phil Keenan, Jon Flower and Roy Williams


	PIERS is a parallel fully implicit 3-D black oil reservoir
simulator originally developed by Exxon Production Research for the
Intel IPSC/2 Hypercube. It was designed as a research code for
investigating the difficulties and challenges of parallel reservoir
simulation. It has been extended to run on several other parallel
computers including the Caltech DELTA machine, and a related Technical
Report provides detailed timing information. This videotape contains an
animated color graphics visualization of the 3-D oil and water fields
obtained from running PIERS on a data set based on actual field
measurements of porosity and permeability.
