Intersect 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.
Applications
The Intersect reservoir simulator supports:
- Comprehensive reservoir modeling: supports conventional and unconventional reservoirs
- Enhanced oil recovery: simulate chemical, miscible, and thermal EOR processes including alkali, surfactant, polymer, low salinity, and gas injection
- CO2 storage and new energies: models for CO2 injection and storage in saline aquifers and depleted reservoirs, hydrogen storage, geothermal, and critical minerals extraction
- Well modeling: near wellbore effects and advanced well completions, including horizontal and multilateral wells
- Field development planning: optimize and evaluate production, depletion, and injection strategies
- Integrated surface-subsurface modeling: couple multiple reservoirs and surface networks for dynamic forecasting and operational planning

Features
The Intersect™ reservoir simulator now supports NVIDIA Blackwell graphics processing units (GPUs) and more scalable multi‑GPU runs.
The Intersect simulator supports NVIDIA’s Blackwell GPU architecture, including both data center and workstation GPUs across NVIDIA B200, B300, and the RTX PRO Blackwell Server and Workstation Edition series.
Improve production forecast and CO2 integrity studies with coupled geomechanics and reservoir flow simulation
With Intersect 2026.3, Visage™ 2026.1, and Petrel™ 2026.1, users can now directly couple Intersect simulator and Visage finite-element geomechanics simulator cases with EDFM grids, improving the simulation of complex fractured reservoirs and unconventional shale assets. Direct coupling with the Visage simulator allows the simulation to account for the interaction between fluid pressure within the fracture network and the effective stress on fracture planes provided by the Visage simulator. This enables more accurate and robust modeling of fluid flow through naturally occurring and hydraulically created fractures.
More accurate well simulation for deep geothermal cases
The thermal well model has been enhanced to account for potential energy, improving the accuracy of temperature predictions along the wellbore. This contribution can be particularly significant for deep wells and near-adiabatic systems. This enhancement enables more realistic modeling of temperature predictions along the wellbore, and is especially beneficial for applications such as geothermal reservoirs, where these conditions may be encountered.
