A Three-Dimensional, Three-Phase Black Oil Applied Simulation Tool (BOAST) (Version 1.1) was released by the Department of Energy in the fall of 1982. This program has been extensively used by various research, academic, and industry organizations. BOAST has proven to be popular because it is very easy to use and is not burdened by seldom-used features which complicate and slow the execution of the program. It has even been successfully used on disk-top computers. In spite of its wide-scale use, complications have developed in some applications. Most of the problems have occurred when the program was used for field-scale conditions where it was not suitable in its original form. BOAST II was developed to overcome some of the limitations of the original BOAST. The main thrust has been to keep the program uncomplicated and easy to use, yet add features which would improve its versatility. The amount of the code in BOAST II is roughly three times that of the original BOAST. This report discusses the major enhancements of BOAST II related to the original BOAST.
