How do reservoir simulators help in the prediction of Oil and Gas reservoirs?

Reservoir simulation helps to evaluate and predict oil and gas field performance through the recovery of different field development scenarios to assess the effects on the recovery of various operational conditions. It also helps to compare the estimate of different recovery methods. There are a few limitations that exist in complex and unconventional reservoir simulation. The most common difficulties in reservoir simulation that are being faced are from data acquisition to the applicability of governing equations and solution techniques. Here in this blog, we will discuss some of the most efficient and productive oil and gas simulators;

MEERA Simulation

  • The first  AI-Physics dynamic reservoir simulator in the Oil & Gas industry which combines conventional numerical simulation techniques with modern machine learning approaches. 
  • Helps in mass conservation for all the design and formation within the reservoir using flux conserved form of finite volume discretionary for governing Navier-Stokes equations. 
  • The arbitrary up-scaled grid block properties to perform actual simulation on a multi-scale grid.
  • All the mechanism in this software is actually a multi-layer deep learning framework having fully connected networks in conjunction with various drop-out layers and coupled with enhanced LSTM based recurrent neural networks.

Nexus Software Suite

  • The only commercial oil and gas simulator that can model oil and gas production from the reservoir pore space through the surface facilities to the point of sale.
  • Having faster run-times and multi-reservoir modeling capabilities, Nexus tools increase both model accuracy and asset team productivity, yielding integrated solutions that help increase confidence in key decisions, and lifecycle management strategies for optimum asset development.

AFT Fathom

  • Fluid dynamic simulation software for engineers used to calculate pressure drop and pipe flow distribution in liquid and low-velocity gas piping as well as ducting systems.

AVEVA Activity

  • Innovative oil and gas simulator provides a practical solution for the plant, power, and marine industries, that harnesses the technologies of computer gaming to transform operational safety and efficiency.

BEASY Crack Simulation Technology

  • The best and easy to use crack modeling tools to predict stress intensity factors, maximize growth rates, critical crack sizes, critical crack locations and crack growth paths.

Elysia CPMaster

  • It is a CAD-based software simulation platform for the design and analysis of cathodic protection installations.
  • Basically used for the CP protection of structures such as offshore oil platforms, FPSOs, ship hulls, ballast tanks, offshore wind turbine foundations and storage tanks
  • Helpful for detailed 3D analyses on specific areas of pipeline networks such as crossings.

Flotools

  • This oil and gas simulator is designed by flow assurance engineers for flow assurance engineers
  • Make the whole process of simulation workflow easy and lets you focus on engineering instead of hunting for licenses or building batch files.

Flows Studio

  • The most accurate and three-phase, three-dimensional black-oil and composite oil and gas simulator. 
  • It simulates dynamic responses of oil and gas reservoir performance by computing gas, oil and water phase flow within the reservoir.

INTViewer

  • Designed specifically to quickly access large data
  • Makes it easy to add or implement proprietary features on your own to meet the specific needs of your project
