Abstract
An improved algorithm for modeling the dynamics of petroleum product lenses based on the planned filtration equations is presented. The program code «Oilfem 2», which implements the algorithm, is supplemented with a generator of non-orthogonal grids, the ability to create groundwater models or import them, the dependence between the pumping rate of the lens of petroleum products and its thickness is taken into account. The improved program code was applied on a test task to eliminate oil pollution, which is a round lens of petroleum products. The results of this work showed a good correspondence between the two solutions according to two criteria: the change in the flow rate of pumping oil products and the change in the volume of free oil products over time.
