Everybody’s in: Real integration from reservoir to processing
Using INTERSECT Field Management, you can recreate close-to-operations controls of even the most complex fields, for accurately predicting and generating behavior. The module is accessed through IAM (Integrated Asset Modeling), which provides an advanced framework to couple the INTERSECT simulator to networks, facilities, and processing simulation tools.
INTERSECT Field Management provides advanced and flexible controls through a close-to-exact representation of the field operations.
The INTERSECT simulator and Python: A powerful combination
The Python scripting capabilities in INTERSECT 2020 are significant more advanced than in the previous version, increasing users’ abilities to solve project-specific challenges by developing custom-made scripts.
You can deploy advanced routines in Python and integrate them into your case in the INTERSECT simulator to run complex operations as the simulation runs. Simply explore the many different options for solutions in some of the most used Python Libraries, then deploy them with Python to incorporate them into the INTERSECT simulator.

Keep it real: The INTERSECT simulator and Depogrid produce reliable result
Depogrid enables geologists and geomodelers to capture all the different unconformities and changes on the structure of the reservoir with high levels of detail. The unstructured nature of the gridding Depogrid models are simulated by the INTERSECT simulator to capture the effects on fluid flow.

Find the best well completion: Optimize well completion configurations in one run
The INTERSECT simulator uses advanced completion optimization (ACO) to ensure the flow control valve (FCV) configuration is always operating at its optimum point. Instead of running different cases with different configurations, different parameters of the FCV are optimized by report step, ensuring specific configuration produces the production performance.
Ensure the best sweep efficiency: Pattern flood management to improve injection efficiency
The INTERSECT simulator generates streamlines as simulation runs to solve the various problems you face relating to reservoir connectivity. In INTERSECT 2020, this capability has been extended to several applications and one of them is pattern flood management, which used the power of the streamlines the INTERSECT simulator generates to determine the optimum contribution of each of the injector wells and how that is translated into higher sweep efficiency.
Estimate the optimum contribution injection rate of each well to ensure the best sweep efficiency and then production contribution of each producer well.
Combine pattern flood management with advanced completion optimization to leverage the use of on-the-run optimizers and produce the best strategies to implement in the field.
