Halliburton’s Landmark Software and Services has released version 5000.4 of the Nexus reservoir simulation software suite for total asset management that allows companies to accurately model hydrocarbon assets, enabling rapid decisions on high-dollar development scenarios.
The software gives reservoir engineers a solution that provides significant advances in integrated reservoir and facility modeling. New capabilities include dual porosity for modeling naturally fractured reservoirs, loosely coupled geomechanics for modeling subsidence, and a new visualization module for analyzing well and surface facility results.
According to Halliburton, benchmarking efforts against a range of existing, commercially available simulators have demonstrated that Nexus software is on average five times faster, enabling engineers to evaluate more production scenarios with increased detail. The surface facility integration allows for the coupling of multiple reservoir models through a common surface network.
In addition, Nexus software performs simulation of the surface and subsurface simultaneously – unlike traditional approaches that solve them separately – to provide better results for more informed decisions. www.halliburton.com
