Petroleum science has made remarkable progress in organic geochemistry and in the research into the theories of petroleum origin, its transport and accumulation. In estimating the oil-gas resources of a basin, the knowledge of its evolutionary history and cspecially the numerical computation of fluid flow and.the history of its changes under heat is vital. The mathematical model can be described as a coupled system of nonlinear partial differentical equations with initial-boundary value problems. This thesis, from actual conditions such as the effect of fluid compressibility and the characteristic of largescal science-engineering computalion, puts forward a kind of characteristic finite difference alternating-direction scheme. Optimal order estimates in L2 norm are derived for the error in the approximate solutions.
