... rig. Although the idea is not at all new - simulators have been in use in the aerospace industry since many decades, it is quite new in the oil and gas industry, especially from the competence, training, and human factors perspective. The Oil & Gas industry is rapidly evolving toward extreme...

... CCUS project. The scope of this paper is to show and compare the workflow followed with two commercial software, a multi-physics multipurpose one (COMSOL Multiphysics®) and a compositional reservoir simulator (CMG GEM®), to perform Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) simulations to assess possible TIF...

... in the near wellbore zone. The second case study deals with the simulation of the injection history of an offshore network, made up of 10 wells injecting water into 4 different fields, where only the total FPSO injection rate is physically measured. RTVFM allowed to improve the quality of back-allocation...

... approach to field development planning and asset value optimization usually requires complex Integrated Asset Models (IAMs) where reservoirs and gathering network simulators work together coordinated by an orchestrator program. IAMs are developed to answer a wide range of questions posed by the integrated...

... simulations were used for estimation using the built-in models of the software simulator. In addition, an identification of potential difficulties throughout the drilling phase was performed. Applying these identified problems, different scenarios were created on the software simulator for further...

... and operative follow-up is quite common today. In drilling applications, Virtual Reality is typically dedicated to rig crew training on physical Drilling Simulators[5] and to maintenance preparation and support. Recently drilling department interest is focusing on the capacity to simulate well response...

... communication of emergency alarms and procedures to the public, employees, visitors and contractors is often underestimated by Companies, if not simply overlooked. The use of simulators can help a lot in communicating emergency procedures to a wide range of people, by challenging them in a variety...

... ABSTRACT The implementation and use of ad-hoc approaches and solutions, combined with advanced simulation tools, allowed facing critical aspects during the development of the reservoir model of an extra heavy oil giant field. The main reservoirs consist of fluvio-deltaic stacked sandstones...

... information is not contained in the simulation files and remains elsewhere. This leads to rebuilding of models always from scratch, with considerable loss of time, poor compatibility among models and, ultimately, loss of Company "memory": Flow Assurance models cannot be currently considered as Company Assets...
