Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a dynamic display of the response of a petroleum reservoir to a particular recovery process. The method comprises the steps of developing a mathematical simulation of the response of the formation and forming a visual display of said simulation for each of a plurality of preset time intervals. A predetermined number of frames of movie film are taken of each display in proper time sequence. The frames of the movie film are then projected to produce a dynamic display of the response of the formation.
