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
Benefits
Superior performance
State-of-the-art algorithms that work across various hardware configurations, 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.
Features
Now supporting multi-graphics processing unit (GPU) simulation
Intersect will now run with multiple parallel processes on NVDIA® GPUs. This enables you to use more than one GPU when running the Intersect simulator. By making use of the advances in modern GPU cards, multi-GPU allows engineers to run larger models, faster.
Introducing IxNetwork—a next generation fully implicit network solver
IxNetwork is a new implicit network solver that allows for faster and more stable integration of the reservoir and the surface production network within the Intersect simulator. It does so through a general, pipe-flow tabular description that is solved implicitly with the reservoir.
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.
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.
