MRST - MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox

Publications
MRST has been used in a large number of journal articles, conference proceedings, and master and doctoral theses. We try to collect as many as possible of these publications and have compiled them in separate lists, which you can find in the menu to the right. If you are using MRST in any publication, we would be grateful if you cite the MRST book or one of the three key papers listed below. You could also refer to this webpage.

 

The MRST book

K.-A. Lie. An introduction to reservoir simulation using MATLAB: User guide for the Matlab Reservoir Simulation Toolbox (MRST). SINTEF ICT, December 2016

The MRST book is the primary resource to learn about MRST and the various models, solvers, and workflow tools that are implemented in the software. Scripts and functions necessary for most of the examples can be found in the 'book' module of the official MRST release. A copy of some of the unpublished book chapters can be obtained upon request.

Is your paper missing?

If your paper is missing in the lists, if have you used MRST in your thesis, or if have you supervised students using MRST, we are of course very happy to hear about it. If you provide us with publication details, we will list your publication or details about the thesis. If you also provide us with an illustrateive picture and a short description, we will highlight your work  on our gallery pages. Contact: Knut-Andreas.Lie@sintef.no
