Petromod 2024.3 features

Petromod 2024.3 introduces Delfi™ On-Demand Reservoir Simulation (ODRS), allowing users to connect their local Petromod software installation to the Delfi High-Performance Computing (HPC) digital platform for powerful, cloud-based simulations. This feature requires a Delfi ODRS subscription and enables users to build 1D, 2D, and 3D models locally with the Petromod Core Builder license, then submit simulations to the Delfi digital platform HPC cluster. This integration provides significant benefits, including:

  • Scalability for large and complex models.
  • Resource optimization by eliminating reliance on local hardware.
  • Increased efficiency through on-demand simulations.

This new functionality enhances basin modeling workflows by combining local flexibility with the Delfi digital platform HPC’s computational power, enabling faster and more cost-effective simulations. Additionally, many bugs have been fixed. To find out more, check the Petromod 2024.3 release notes.

Petromod 2024.2

Petromod 2024.2 release notes

  • The Phase Editor has been redesigned for improved user interaction, merging the water, liquid, vapor, and ice tabs into a single main tab.
  • Dissolution options have been streamlined, and new commands like reload, undo, and redo have been added.
  • A new special option, Oprxcall 1, reduces flowpath migration algorithm calls to one per event, potentially decreasing simulation time by up to 30%.
  • Four new overlays provide enhanced insights into fluid phase interactions
    • Solubility in water
    • Change in mass in water
    • Dissolution mass
    • Exsolution mass
  • Multiple bug fixes

Petromod 2023

Petromod 2023.1

Petromod 2023.1 release announcement

 

PetroMod 2023 combines a state-of-the-art user interface with high simulation performance enabling you to perform sophisticated analyses of the dynamic temperature, pressure, and migration history of complex geological systems in a fast, and intuitive process-focused workflow.

 

Key features and enhancements

 

IP Express

This new tool has been created based on the IP Tester. In IP Express, the invasion percolation algorithm has been decoupled from the pressure/temperature (P/T) simulator to be run within 3D seismic volumes of up to 2 billion cells size. This application was primarily created for carbon storage site assessment but can be also used for hydrocarbon migration testing. The tool has been designed to be used with minimum data requirements, i.e., one seismic cube, but additional seismic cubes can be included in the simulation if available. You need a 3D advanced migration license to run IP Express.

Advection (beta version)

To expand the simulator capabilities, of modelling CO2 storage in saline aquifers, the existing diffusion equation has been extended to include advection.
