KBC continues its commitment to providing the best-in-class process simulation software available for the refining and petrochemicals industries. Version 3 of Petro-SIM contains innovative ways to integrate simulation with key systems in the process plant – plant data information systems, LPs, relational databases, and Excel; all are included as part of the basic simulation package. Case management and usability is enhanced with change tracking features – a first on this simulation platform. These change tracking features include: an Undo feature, a journal to automatically record changes, and case comparison tools. Version 3 extends the features of the internal spreadsheet and adds a host of new features accessed with a click of a mouse. With this release, KBC also introduces a...

Effective 3D rendering of the subsurface is essential for presentation and collaboration, however a great deal of work is still completed on plans and sections. Moving naturally between 2D and 3D is critical, and making this transition more seamless is a key focus in this release. The advances include the ability to sample a voxel to GDB locations, orient GOCAD voxet files, use log and log/linear options for 3D gridding, and new utilities to create uniform voxels and grids of any size.Oasis montaj Extensions This release contains many new features and enhancements in the Oasis montaj extensions and montaj Plus extensions from our software partners. Some of the highlights include: * Geophysics: Display curved or crooked sections in 2D or...

HYSYS 3.2 is the second minor release on the HYSYS 3 series and builds on the significant advancement in simulation technology offered in HYSYS 3.01 and 3.1. As with every AspenTech product, it reflects our commitment to delivering Process Asset Lifecycle Management within a platform that is the world leader in ease of use and flexibility, and sets the standard for an open engineering environment. This version provides the technology framework to support Steady State process design, Dynamic operability and management, Asset Planning and Utilization and Real Time Optimization. This allows you, our customer, to further leverage your modeling investment to obtain real business benefits. HYSYS 3.2 was designed with three main purposes in mind. One to deliver the first...

Landmark provide the enclosed release of SeisSpace™ R5000.1.0 software version, ProMAX™ R5000.1.0 software version, and ProMAX™ DepthCharge R5000.1.0 software version.This release is being distributed for Linux32 and Linux64 Operating Systems.Landmark also wants to state that the ProMAX™ flow builder/UI and ProMANAGER will only be supported from a usage perspective for this release. We will not be supporting these programs by development and will not be delivering them at all in the next major release. As users, you are highly encouraged to migrate to using the SeisSpace™ Navigator/Flow Builder with its embedded flow replication capability.One of the first things that you will notice is that SeisSpace™, ProMAX™ and ProMAX™ DepthCharge are combined into a single installation. The ProMAX™ tutorials continue to...

Hampson-Russell has been providing innovative geophysical software since ? 1987. ? AFI (AVO Fluid Inversion) * estimates the uncertainty in the fluid predictions from AVO. We designed the program as a seamless add-on to the AVO program. AFI uses Biot-Gassmann fluid substitution, Monte Carlo simulation and Bayesian estimation to build fluid probability maps. You then use these maps to make a quantitative analysis of the probability of exploration success. AVO – Analysis & Modeling * AVO analyzes the fluid content of reservoir rocks through a combination of visual, analytical and modeling processes using both pre-stack seismic and well log data. AVO is started by Geoview and can use the View3D application to view its attribute maps. EMERGE * EMERGE predicts...

RO/II version 8.3 continues the PRO/II tradition of offering the finest simulation models and tools. Enhancements in all areas of the program are incorporated in this release. Invensys Process Systems continually adds new capabilities. For a summary of defects fixed and other important notices about installation, security and documentation, please refer to the Release Notes for PRO/II 8.3. A sampling of the new features are briefly outlined here. Upgrade to SIM4ME Version 3.3 Thermodynamics: PRO/II has been upgraded to use the most recent version of SIM4ME thermodynamics.
