New integrated reservoir engineering software suite

Roxar Tempest 7.0 is a new integrated reservoir engineering software suite that provides a single, consistent interface to exploration and production reservoir engineers.

The five modules can be deployed as an integrated unit with a common interface or individually to enhance existing work flows. Links to major commercial and many proprietary simulators give engineers the flexibility to customize their work flows or opt for a fully integrated solution. These modules are:

• Tempest VIEW, the pre and postprocessing interface for all Tempest modules, which is capable of quickly processing results from multiple simulations with millions of cells and thousands of wells.

• Tempest ENABLE, the firm's history matching and uncertainty estimation software solution, is now incorporated into the Tempest suite, providing improvement to the user interface via Tempest VIEW. , and modeling geological uncertainty.

• Tempest MORE, a modern full field, physics simulator that can be optimized for large models and offers black oil, compositional, and thermal options.

• Tempest PVTx, an equation of state pressure-volume-temperature analysis tool that facilitates the characterization of black oil or compositional fluids.

• Tempest VENTURE, an economic evaluation tool that provides cash flow analysis derived from simulation results allowing the incorporation of inflation rates, prices, currencies, costs, taxes, and other variables.

Roxar Tempest 7.0 is suited for all types of reservoirs and geologies and covers a wide spectrum of reservoir simulation. It comes with a modern, intuitive interface with powerful graphics that can process multiple models and very large data sets and is also suited for unconventional and EOR studies such as CO2 injection, coalbed methane, steam assisted gravity drainage, and shale gas fields.

Roxar Tempest 7.0 is platform independent, can link up with the majority of reservoir simulators, and operates on Windows and Linux desktop machines with multicore CPUs, and on clusters and Windows HPC servers.
