Stoner Pipeline Simulator (SPS) leads the world in the fidelity oftransient fluid flow simulation of natural gas pipeline networks.Control system analysis, equipment performance analysis,temperature analysis, composition analysis, pressure-flow capacityanalysis, or any combination of these can be simulated accuratelyand easily with SPS. Of course, SPS performs simplified idealisedsimulations as well. You decide the complexity to fit your needs. Simulation Capabilities SPS provides a comprehensive selection of equations-of-stateincluding BWRS, CNGA and AGA-8. SPS tracks gas compositionwith proven accuracy. You can also specify unique gas properties,such as gas ownership, and track the mixing of these propertiesthroughout the network. As with equipment, you select the level of thermal modelling thatfits your study needs, from a purely isothermal analysis to a fullytransient radial heat transfer...

Strategic Mine Planning – Optimise Mine Profits When exploration and mining companies need to evaluate the financial viability and the optimal mine strategy for a deposit, they turn to the industry leading strategic mine planning solution – Gemcom Whittle™. Companies depend on Whittle to help them determine their investment strategy and to deliver robust mine plans that maximise profitability by taking into account real mining constraints. Whittle delivers trusted results and is used in scoping, feasibility, life-of-mine scheduling, and in the ongoing re-evaluation of mine plans throughout the production phase. Because pit optimisation alone is not enough to unlock the full economic potential of your operation, Whittle provides mine optimisation, which enables significant increases in project value over and above...

Drilling and production environments are clearly growing more complex: ultra-deep wells, complicated offsets, extended horizontal well paths and smaller reservoir targets are becoming the norm. In this environment, prolonged well planning cycles, design miscalculations or the wrong drilling decisions can cost millions of dollars – jeopardizing the project’s profitability. Engineers are challenged daily to efficiently make critical engineering decisions in the face of more complex designs, significantly more data than ever before, and often with a shortfall in experience or training. To help engineers meet these challenges, they require an integrated, multi-user drilling and production engineering environment to facilitate streamlined workflow practices, sound engineering and rapid decision-making. This environment should provide a suite of industryleading applications for well design and...

gPROMS is the leading Advanced Process Modelling environment for the process industries. It can be applied across many application areas in all process sectors. gPROMS’s process modelling, process simulation and optimisation capabilities are used to generate high-accuracy predictive information for decision support in product and process innovation, design and operation. gPROMS is an equation-oriented modelling system used for building, validating and executing first-principles models within a flowsheeting framework. Models are constructed in the gPROMS ModelBuilder by writing down the fundamental chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, operating procedures and other relationships that govern the process or product behaviour. The resulting model is then validated against observed data — typically, laboratory, pilot plant or operating data — to adjust model parameters such as...
