Intersect simulator
Enabling modeling at the scale you need with the physics you need—fast
Overview
The Intersect high-resolution reservoir simulator sets the standard for reservoir simulation. By combining physics and performance in a fit-for-purpose reservoir simulator for your reservoir models, the Intersect simulator enables modeling at the scale you need with the physics you need—fast. Reservoir engineers are provided with results that can be trusted to provide insight into understanding the progression of hydrocarbon in the reservoir at a resolution that is otherwise too costly to simulate. The outcome is improved accuracy and efficiency in field development planning and reservoir management, even for the most complex fields.
Leading physics
High performance at the scale you need
Complex operations made simple
From black oil waterflood models, to thermal SAGD injection schemes, to efficient handling of unstructured grids, the Intersect simulator delivers a new approach to reservoir simulation for meeting your reservoir management challenges.
The Intersect simulator reveals new insights through the efficient simulation of high-resolution models while employing robust physics to support better field development decisions. Detailed reservoir characterization, together with well and network coupling, can be honored with only minimal or no upscaling.
Intersect new features
Intersect 2024.1 Release Announcement Intersect 2024.2 Release Announcement
Physics, CO2 storage capabilities, performance, field management, and usability form the core pillars for the development of the Intersect™ high- resolution reservoir simulator. The release of Intersect delivers many key features and updates reflecting these focus areas.
Faster and more stable geomechanical coupled simulations for carbon storage and more!
A new direct coupling workflow for carbon storage and geomechanics simulations is now available using Intersect simulator and Visage™ finite-element geomechanics simulator.
More functionality added to the multiscale sequential fully implicit method for improved performance
The multiscale sequential fully implicit (SFI) method can now support threshold pressure modeling which specifies a threshold for the pressure difference between areas in the reservoir and is useful for modeling large heterogenous models and scenarios, such as imposing initial hydraulic equilibrium between communicating independent regions.
Fractures in conventional and unconventional reservoirs can now be simulated using the embedded discrete fracture modelling (EDFM)!
Fractures in conventional and unconventional reservoirs can now be simulated using EDFM.
Faster CO2 storage simulation setup
CO2 storage simulations can now be defined easily through a new template node.
