Custom Table for PIPESIM Network using OpenLink

The PIPESIM Network Analysis Module is a Schlumberger production software product that allows comprehensive system analysis of network hydraulics (critical to flowline design).

GIS, GeoFrame, and Hurricane prediction

The National Weather Service (NWS) is predicting the path of a hurricane, and your team wants to see how close it might come to one of your exploration areas. Current information is readily available on the National Hurricane Center Web page and can be downloaded in GIS format and displayed on a Basemap in your GeoFrame project.

Inflow Control Device (ICD) Design Using PIPESIM Software

Inflow control device (ICD) design using PIPESIM software for a horizontal well is a relatively new technique by which a well completions group can increase the productivity per unit length of perforations by optimizing drawdown over the perforation length (and maximize the reservoir recovery).
