An improved algorithm for accelerating minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) computation by use of the multiple-mixing-cell (MMC) methods is presented. The MMC method is widely used to accurately calculate the MMP. In this study, we proposed an acceleration algorithm towards original MMC method to directly locate the shortest key tie-line after a certain amount of contacts through the adjustment of the gas-oil mixing ratio during the calculation process. The algorithm contains the following key components: 1) mixing-cell cut off strategy to avoid unnecessary flash calculations; 2) gas-oil mixing ratio adjustment to prevent lost information on the shortest key tie-line during the cell cut-off process; 3) a search algorithm for pressure to improve the next step pressure estimate; 4) the fast and reliable two-phase flash implementation by combining full Newton method with recently proposed iteration variables and conventional successive substitution method. The improved MMC model is shown to be faster than the original MMC method in computing MMP.
