Robust, reliable reference simulator

The Eclipse industry-reference reservoir simulator offers the industry’s most complete and robust set of numerical solutions for fast and accurate prediction of dynamic behavior for all types of reservoirs and development schemes. The Eclipse simulator has been the benchmark for commercial reservoir simulation for more than 25 years thanks to its extensive capabilities, robustness, speed, parallel scalability, and unmatched platform coverage.

Unrivaled depth and breadth of functionality 

With over 30 years of continuous development and innovation, the Eclipse simulator is the most feature-rich and comprehensive reservoir simulator on the market—covering the entire spectrum of reservoir models, including black oil, compositional, thermal finite-volume, and streamline simulation. By choosing from a wide range of add-on options—such as local grid refinements, coalbed methane, gas field operations, advanced wells, reservoir coupling, and surface networks—simulator capabilities can be tailored to meet your needs, enhancing your reservoir modeling capabilities. 

Extensive expertise and user base

Used at over 800 sites in 70 countries, the Eclipse simulator draws upon an unrivalled level of reservoir engineering expertise across the entire industry. As well as being the de facto simulation standard in the petroleum industry, the Eclipse simulator is used extensively by academia, regulatory authorities, and petroleum financial planners. Evidenced by citations in over 1,500 SPE technical papers, the Eclipse simulator is widely acknowledged as the industry’s leading reservoir simulator.

Petrel reservoir engineering environment

The user environment for the Eclipse family of simulators is Petrel Reservoir Engineering, which integrates the static and dynamic modeling process into a seamless workflow. Data flows are transparent, with an easy-to-learn graphical user interface that supports simulation configuration and results visualization. The Petrel platform integrates data from multiple disciplines, allowing experts to combine their knowledge in a unified environment. It also supports extensive uncertainty and optimization workflows.

Better performance without upgrading hardware: Improved CPR solver brings better performance

Simulate faster without compromising results and without upgrading your hardware. Improved CPR (Constrained Pressure Residual) solver enables you to provide addition residual checks, for dramatic improvements in performance, especially when there are repeated non-linear convergence problems.

Top New Features

 
CO2 storage improved

CO2 Storage Physics

Expanding the CO2 storage physics capabilities of the Eclipse industry-reference reservoir simulator. The Eclipse simulator’s CO2STORE now supports lower temperature limits as part of its integrated thermal option, and can detect and report hydrate formation.

CO2 storage improved

CO2 Storage Improved

CO2 storage requires complex multiphase physical and chemical behavior. The Eclipse simulator can model carbon storage in diverse environments such as saline aquifers, and depleted gas or oil reservoirs.  Further enhancing these capabilities, the 2021.3 release of Eclipse simulator sees improvements in modelling of dissolution and physical properties of hydrocarbon components in thermal simulations. Additionally, compatibility with simulator options is extended, to accommodate a wide variety of modelling scenarios.

ECLIPSE

Improved dynamic well list controls 

The dynamic well list features enable the user to group together all the wells from an initial group satisfying a dynamic condition, e.g., having water cut above a certain level. These lists can be used for reporting or applying actions. Previously, a static group was used to define the initial pool of wells to be selected from in the dynamic list. This initial group can now be alternatively provided as another well list, either static or dynamic. This new feature is accessible in both Eclipse Black Oil and Eclipse Compositional.
