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.

Model salt precipitation workflows for fast, accurate CO2 storage simulation
Evaluate the risk of injectivity impairment and well blockage from salt precipitation using the fast CO2STORE method. This is an implementation based on the Eclipse™ reservoir simulator, that enables engineers to evaluate the precipitation of NaCl into halite with a single command for activation.
New rock mechanics model for cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) processes
Capture the physics of cyclic injection-production processes such as cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) with the introduction of the Beattie-Boberg rock compaction model. This method enables users to set the pressure and compressibility values to precisely control pore volume changes in both reversible and irreversible regimes of compaction and dilation, delivering more realistic simulation of reservoir behaviour.
Enhanced geothermal modeling with heat flux boundary conditions
A new heat loss model is now available with flexible control of heat boundary conditions. This enables modeling of phenomena such as volcanic intrusions in geothermal workflows.
Enhanced reservoir characterization using local grid refinement (LGR) support for Depogrid
Enhance reservoir modelling precision in areas where detail is needed using unstructured depogrids. Through the integrated Petrel™ subsurface software workflow, complex features such as near-well regions and fault zones can be efficiently defined and easily simulated.
Significantly reduce computational costs with new sector modeling workflow
Leverage sector modeling to extract areas of interest from full field simulations and conduct detailed analysis of key reservoir zones. This targeted workflow enables dedicated pilot projects and infill well studies to be performed at a fraction of the computational costs, accelerating decision-making.
Simpler fluid model definition for thermal processes
Thermal fluid definition has been streamlined to require only a single hydrocarbon component with essential properties, significantly enhancing usability. This simplified approach is particularly useful in new energy applications, such as carbon storage in saline aquifers and geothermal resource development.
