Simulation Options & Workflows

Enhance the scope of reservoir simulation studies

By selecting from the wide range of add-on options, you can tailor an ECLIPSE reservoir simulation solution to your project that will enhance the scope of your simulation studies.

Gas lift optimization

Determines how much lift gas to allocate to each well in order to meet well, group, or field production targets; if production targets cannot be met, it determines how to make the best use of existing lift gas resources.

Gas field operations

Contains a set of facilities designed to model gas field production constraints and operations. 

Gas calorific value-based control

Allows you to control the mean calorific value of gas produced from the field, while also controlling the gas production rate.

Geomechanics

Provides the ability to simulate compaction processes that are not available with the ECLIPSE standard rock compaction option.

Coalbed methane

For dual porosity, the Coalbed Methane option uses a modified Warren and Root model to describe the physical processes involved in a typical coalbed methane project.

Networks

Designed to provide groups of wells with variable tubing head pressure (THP) limits that depend on the groups' flow rates, according to a set of pipeline pressure loss relationships.

Reservoir coupling

Provides a means of coupling a number of separate simulation models to account for constraints on overall production and injection rates, and optionally the sharing of a common surface network.

Flux boundary

Allows ECLIPSE simulation runs to be performed on a small section of a field, using boundary conditions established from a full-field run.

Environmental tracers

Enables the modeling of contaminants and other substances as they flow within a host water, oil, or gas phase.

  • The Passive Tracer Tracking model enables you to track up to 50 tracer substances within a single model.
  • The Environmental Tracer option extends the modeling to account for adsorption of the tracer on to the bulk rock, decay of the tracer over time, and molecular diffusion of the tracer.

Pseudo-compositional

Extends the black-oil, two pseudo-component model to take into account fluid property changes occurring during gas injection.

EOR foam

Helps increase production from an oil reservoir, not by modeling the details of foam generation, flow, and collapse, but rather by assuming the foam is transported with the gas phase. Hence, it models the foam by a tracer in the gas phase that accounts for adsorption on to the rock and decay over time. More...

EOR polymer

Polymer injection during water flooding of oil reservoirs decreases the mobility of the injected water, resulting in a more favorable fractional flow curve for the injected water. This leads to a more efficient sweep pattern and reduced viscous fingering. More...

EOR solvent

Allows you to model gas injection projects without going to the complexity and expense of using a compositional model. The Solvent extension implements the Todd and Longstaff empirical model for miscible floods and is flexible enough to model a wide range of gas injection schemes. More...

EOR surfactant

The ECLIPSE Surfactant option does not aim to model the detailed chemistry of a surfactant process, but rather to model the important features of a surfactant flood on a full-field basis. More...

Wellbore friction

This option models the effects of pressure resulting from friction in the well tubing along the perforated length, and between the perforations and the bottomhole reference point of the well. It is primarily intended for use with horizontal and multilateral wells, in which frictional pressure losses may be significant over the horizontal section of the wellbore and in the branches.

Unencoded gradients

Computes gradients of the solution (for example, pressure in a well) with respect to various property parameters defined by the user, such as horizontal permeability in a layer. The ECLIPSE SimOpt model calibration software program uses the gradients computed by the simulator to achieve an efficient regression during a history match or sensitivity analysis, varying the property parameters via modifiers.

Open-ECLIPSE developer's kit

Enables ECLIPSE to be controlled by and communicate interactively with other applications. Although ECLIPSE is primarily used in a standalone batch mode controlled solely by the contents of the input data file, there are many situations in which it would be advantageous to have ECLIPSE controlled by another software application.

Shale Gas Workflow

ECLIPSE and Petrel simulation software accurately simulate the physics of shale gas reservoirs and model natural and induced fracture networks.
