The term "black oil equations" refers to a set of mathematical relations used in reservoir engineering and petroleum production to model the behavior of black oil, a type of crude oil characterized by its relatively high viscosity and the presence of dissolved gases and lighter hydrocarbon components. Black oil models help in understanding and predicting the behavior of oil reservoirs during production.
