This paper describes a sequential implicit formulation of the compositional reservoir flow equations. This procedure offers improved stability over implicit pressure, explicit saturation (IMPES) methods but, in general, is not as expensive computationally as fully implicit methods. It also possesses several other attractive features. It permits an efficient combination of compositional and black-oil capabilities in a single program. Important to this is the fact that it lends itself to a modular program design. Finally, it has a natural physical interpretation that can be very helpful in the understanding of model behavior.
