Petrel 2014 Significant new functionality and enhanced integration, from exploration to production.The latest release of the Petrel E&P software platform introduces a new user experience which has a wide range of new features and quality improvements covering stability, performance, and reliability. The interface is laid out in a logical way driven by geoscience workflows. You can interact with the 3D window data and focus on the geoscience workflow relevant to your project. Key updates by discipline are listed below.Geology 1D fault seal evaluation: 1D juxtaposition mapping for rapid understanding of seal potential during exploration. Map-based volume calculation (uncertainty): Quantify volumetric uncertainty based on stochastic realizations directly in map-based volumetric workflows. Volume-based modeling (DepoSpace plug-in): Construct watertight frameworks using volume-based modeling....

PyroSim is the leading software for quickly and accurately working with FDS models.PyroSim is a graphical user interface for the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). PyroSim helps you quickly create and manage the details of complex fire models. Import CAD Models PyroSim imports AutoCAD DXF and DWG files. When PyroSim imports a DWG/DXF file, it will treat all 3D face data as obstructions and all other data (lines, curves, etc.) as separate CAD data. The left image of the figure shows the DWG file face data and the right image shows the grid representation that will be used in the FDS analysis. Alternately, a drawing in GIF, JPG, or PNG format can be imported and then used as a background to...

Monitor, record and control stimulation treatments The FracCAT fracturing computer-aided treatment system comprises hardware and software for monitoring, controlling, recording and reporting all types of fracturing treatments. Its real-time displays, plots, surface schematics and wellbore animations present a clear picture of the treatment as it occurs, providing decision-makers with real-time detailed job information from the surface to the perforations.Technology and software Using FracCAT technology, treatment design is followed and execution is precise. Integration with the Schlumberger FracCADE design and evaluation software allows job designs to be loaded directly into the FracCAT software. During the job, the FracCAT system tracks the design and displays actual job parameters compared to planned values. FracCAT software also uses the design to control proppant and...

What’s New in Tecplot RS 2014 Release 1Support for UTCHEM Simulator Tecplot RS 2014 R1 reads native UTCHEM (chemical flood reservoir simulator developed at the University of Texas at Austin ) files for the reservoir grid properties and production data, and makes available full capabilities for creating XY plots, and 2D and 3D grid plots.Quick RFT Plot The Quick RFT plot is used when exploring 3D grid solutions. Users can click on any grid cell, and the Quick RFT will create a plot of the current grid variable versus depth for the column cells that includes the selected cell. This provides a very fast method for exploring the grid and for understanding how the grid properties vary with depthPeriodic Production...

Supporting an eigenmode solver as well as various methods for simulating guided propagation of optical fields over long distances, MODE Solutions is an ideal tool for the design, analysis and optimization of guided components. The eigenmode solver accurately calculates the physical properties of guided modes in truly arbitrary waveguide geometries. The 2.5D varFDTD solver in MODE Solutions enables rapid and accurate simulation of planar waveguide geometries such as SOI tapers and ring resonators, whereas the eigenmode expansion (EME) solver is ideal for simulating long distance light propagation in waveguide devices such as spot-size converters, tapers and Bragg gratings. When combined with DEVICE, Lumerical’s optoelectronic solver, MODE Solutions provides a powerful tool for the design and analysis of active components such...
