Abstract

Embodiments of systems, non-transitory computer-readable medium having one or more computer programs stored therein, and computer-implemented methods are provided to enhance hydrocarbon reservoir simulation for a plurality of hydrocarbon reservoirs. According to embodiments, a plurality of fluid flow simulation runs in each of a plurality of hydrocarbon reservoirs are initiated. Then, each of a first set of one or more of the plurality of simulation runs are terminated while each of a second set of one or more of the plurality of simulation runs continue. Terminating each of the first set of simulation runs can increase processing availability within a collective limited and predetermined combined computing capacity of one or more processors to another one or more of the plurality of simulation runs being run. Consequently, terminating each of the first set of simulation runs can thereby reduce total hydrocarbon reservoir simulation run time.
