Conventional Model Builder plug-in 2024.1 now available for Petrel™ subsurface software
Friday, 17 January 2025
Product details
The Conventional Model Builder plug-in is designed to streamline the generation of simulation models for conventional reservoirs. This plug-in introduces a guided workflow to construct a simulation model from scratch, including simulation wells and field management scenarios.
Conventional Model Builder 2024.1 is available from Petrel 2024.6 or higher.
Release highlights
The guided workflow comes with preset of default values for all input parameters, ensuring users can always create a basic simulation grid with wells. This plug-in consolidates all the necessary steps for generating an Intersect™ simulator case, which can be run either from the plug-in interface or directly from Petrel software.
Figure 1 illustrates vertical wells and reservoir model created using Conventional Model Builder plug-in. Wells can be created using various well pattern types available in the plug-in.
Fast and simple model creation
The plug-in supports the creation of simple grids, the quick creation and/or import of PVT fluid models and rock physics functions, and accommodates various fluid and rock physics scenarios.
Well pattern types
The Conventional Model Builder plug-in enables users to benefit from various well pattern types, including 5-spot, 7-spot, 9-spot, and Zotzky patterns. It also provides the flexibility to create custom patterns as per user specifications. Wells can be vertical, vertical with hydraulic fractures, or horizontal laterals.
Complete Petrel U&O integration
The plug-in is supported in the Petrel Uncertainty and Optimization (U&O) process, providing an intuitive reservoir simulation and uncertainty framework. This enables sensitivity and uncertainty studies using the base simulation model created with the Conventional Model Builder, allowing users to conduct risk and uncertainty analyses on the input parameters.
User-friendly workflow
A fully guided workflow that simplifies the entire process of simulation model building for conventional reservoirs.
Full Intersect simulator support
Conventional Model Builder includes seamless integration with, and full support for, the Intersect simulator.
