The integration of the Intersect high-resolution reservoir simulator with Petrel Reservoir Engineering makes it possible for engineers and geoscientists to study flow phenomena and production performance in the context of geology, petrophysics, uncertainty, economics, and other scenarios. Examples include tracking and history matching of the polymer concentration with live tracer measurements, miscible CO2 water-alternating gas (WAG) injection with 4D seismic reservoir monitoring, and intelligent completions to control breakthrough.

Conventional, unconventional, and fractured reservoirs with various fluid types.

  • Increased confidence in decision making through modeling of various EOR processes, including low-salinity, polymer, and miscible injection (such as hydrocarbon gas and CO2).
  • Greater insight sooner by performing quick, accurate simulations powered by a state-of-the-art solver and robust physics.
  • Early validation of production scenarios for a variety of operating conditions and accounting for uncertainty in the geology and fluids.
  • Understanding of physical processes in detail on a high-resolution model that preserves geology.
