The latest versions of this firm's full reservoir simulation tool Roxar Tempest 6.7 and its history matching and uncertainty estimation software Roxar EnABLE 2.4 now are available to the industry.
They promise improved usability in history matching, such as new plotting and work-flow features for large history matching projects; faster and less memory intensive simulation models; and enhanced tools for making economic evaluations of reservoirs.
The company says that improvements it has made with Tempest 6.7 and EnABLE 2.4 will lead to an even more integrated, accessible, and productive reservoir management work flow, a complete understanding of production ranges, and simulation models that are fully consistent with the underlying geology.
The Tempest reservoir simulation suite guides users through the entire reservoir simulation process. This includes the preparation and analysis of original data, compositional and black-oil simulation, results study and visualisation, and economic evaluation.
Tempest 6.7's modeling of complex wells and hydraulic fracturing has been improved and a Todd-Longstaff solvent feature allows for the efficient simulation of CO2 floods. Other highlights include optimized memory usage through its graphical interactive program Tempest View, with the load on demand facility requiring only a fraction of the memory of previous versions. This lets engineers simultaneously analyze more models with complex wells and fine grids. In addition, derived data, such as group totals and well ratios, can be processed on demand.
Estimation software. EnABLE is used for a better understanding and measurement of uncertainty in reservoir production performance estimates. Using an advanced statistical framework and proxy model, based on conventional reservoir simulations, EnABLE provides E&P companies with a rapid understanding of production behavior and the creation of robust uncertainty forecasts.
Enhancements focus on its usability with an improved results filter and a new console log that can store and carry out an audit trail of all user activities. Other functionalities include a new progress indicator to see how long plotting is taking, improved error and message handling, a new tool bar so that the EnABLE application can be easily navigated, the ability to color code according to activity type, and a new search facility. EnABLE 2.4 will also have additional integration capabilities including the ability to select estimator points on tracers for the ECLIPSE simulator.
