Title for This Project Description: Development of Computational Techniques with Application to Petroleum Exploration 5.1 Proposal Framework Development of Efficient Solvers for Complex Flows

The proposed research will comprise part of a much larger Oil and Gas Research and Development initiative in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada. The Federal Government of Canada has established a $300 million fund to support innovation and economic development in Atlantic Canada (the provinces of Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island). Oil and Gas related research and development is one target area for this fund and a Pan-Atlantic consortium and network, the Petroleum Systems Network has been developed to undertake innovative research and to acquire infrastructure in support of economic development. Part of the research will focus on the development of sedimentary basins.
