Intersect reservoir simulator
Industry-leading reservoir simulation technology—with the physics, performance and resolution you need for every asset.
Overview
The Intersect™ reservoir simulator empowers reservoir engineers to tackle today’s most complex subsurface challenges with confidence.
Combining leading science, superior performance, and flexible gridding, the Intersect simulator delivers fast, scalable modeling for every reservoir type—whether it is a mature oil and gas fields, appraisal/exploration fields, unconventionals, or new energy applications like CO2 storage.
Seamlessly bridging data from geology, geophysics, geomechanics, and production engineering, the Intersect simulator enables smarter, more integrated workflows. It helps teams simulate reservoir behavior with greater accuracy, and in a faster, more cost-effective manner than ever before.
The result? Sharper insights, optimized recovery strategies, and more confident field development decisions.
Superior performance
State-of-the-art algorithms, that work across any hardware, for more confident simulation insights in an operational timeframe.
Leading science
Leveraging four decades of pioneering research and innovation in reservoir science, validated through industrial partnerships.
Integrated workflows
Multi-domain integrated workflows: for better field development decisions, uncertainty quantification, and optimized recovery.

New asphaltene modeling capability for improved reservoir performance prediction
An asphaltene model has been introduced to provide a framework for modeling asphaltene formation and its impact on reservoir performance. The model captures the asphaltene phases, from precipitation and flocculation to deposition, and quantifies their effects on fluid viscosity and reservoir permeability.
Comprehensive simulation of fracture behavior with projection-based embedded discrete fracture modeling (pEDFM)
Building on the embedded discrete fracture modelling (EDFM) capabilities first introduced in Intersect 2024.1, this release extends the method with projection-based capabilities that enable accurate representation of flow-reducing or blocking fractures. This delivers a more realistic simulation of fracture behaviors.
Geoscreening engine—now available in multiscale for more confident reservoir modeling
A geologic screening engine is now available within the multiscale framework. It enables you to quickly set up and run, at low computational cost, numerical experiments on entire ensembles to rank, screen, and select geologic models.
