The multiphase flow model: At the heart of the Olga simulator
The Olga simulator currently features two distinct flow models: Standard Olga simulator flow model, commonly known as the ‘friction factor model’, and Olga high-definition flow model, which was introduced in 2015 and updated in the Olga 2025.1 release. We’ll explain the key differences between these two models and provide guidance on selecting the best one for your system’s specific conditions.
Our flow experts will also provide an update on the development of a new flow model tailored to CO2 transportation systems—a result of the CO2 REACH joint industry project—as well as other new applications. Key topics include:
- Overview of the Olga simulator flow models: Friction factor and Olga high definition).
- Key updates in Olga 2025.1, including new high-definition closures and an oil-water dispersion model.
- Progress on the development of the CCUS applications flow model.
- Update on the Olga-S business model.

Embracing automation - transforming drilling efficiency and safety with dynamic AI solutions
Despite gaining significant traction in the industry, automation systems have yet to reach their full potential. Currently, they often focus primarily on isolated tasks like ROP optimization or dysfunction mitigation, resulting in only incremental improvements due to existing safety protocols and predefined boundaries.
To achieve truly transformative results, a comprehensive approach is essential, for understanding the downhole environment and assessing risks in real time, to safely push boundaries. Enter DrillOps™ automation and DrillOps advisory.
Join industry experts James Cahalane and Abeer Musbah in this webinar as they delve into how our solutions surpass the limitations of manual operations, which rely on oversimplified roadmaps and often result in conservative guidelines. Discover how these systems quickly adapt to changing conditions, enabling safe drilling closer to the technical limit.
You’ll learn how our solutions employ industry-leading domain engines for real-time condition assessment, alongside a dynamic AI planner that instantaneously adapts to changes. By embracing new drilling paradigms, organizations can unlock substantial benefits, optimize operations and demonstrate value. Some users have already experienced remarkable results, including a 100% increase in gross ROP and a 40% reduction in drilling duration.
