Abstract
In some embodiments, a method for locally lumped equation of state fluid characterization can include determining a set of components for the material balance calculations for a plurality of grid blocks of a reservoir. The plurality of grid blocks can experience different recovery methods between them. Lumping schemes can be determined for the plurality of grid blocks. Phase behavior calculations can be performed on the plurality of grid blocks, wherein different lumping schemes can be used across the plurality of grid blocks.
