1.	To improve understanding of the physics and mathematics of three phase fluid              TE + E
         flow processes in porous media and apply to the enhancement of simulation
         capability.

-        improve understanding of the factors in pore scale physics critical to 
         recovery processes especially in three phase systems and to develop 
         ways to enhance the utility of this knowledge for reservoir performance
         improvement, simulation and management. 

	(Asset focus of above topics: field development and improving recovery from existing fields)
	

TE- technology enhancement.  CR- cost reduction.  E- enabling.
