===ABSTRACT:
The linearized equations of oil reservoir simulations often
yield a complex Jacobian linear system that is challenging
to solve by iterative methods. We present our efforts to develop an AMG-preconditioned Krylov method for directly
solving the original discretized system. The preconditioner
is designed to represent the coupling between the physical variables and account for the underlying physics of the
system. We present performance results for the solver on
challenging applications emerging from reservoir simulations.
