Petromod 2026.1 and Petromod XD 2026.1 available now

Petromod™ 2026.1 and Petromod XD™ 2026.1 deliver targeted enhancements across usability, performance, and workflow efficiency. Key updates include a modernized simulator interface, improved multi-model visualization and export, significant performance gains in flowpath and invasion percolation (IP) express, and extended on‑demand basin simulation support for Linux environments.

Release Details

Petromod 2026.1 and Petromod XD 2026.1 deliver meaningful improvements, helping geoscientists work faster, smarter, and with greater confidence throughout the basin modeling process.

Modernized user experience

The new simulator interface introduces a clean, intuitive design with smart navigation of settings, making complex workflows easier to configure and manage. Access to SLB Help documentation is now integrated directly within Delfi digital platform, ensuring faster support and smoother onboarding. In addition, the unified kinetics editor brings components and kinetics together into a single, streamlined application.

Enhanced visualization and workflows

This release improves multi-model visualization and export, to support more consistent data analysis. Users can now benefit from 3D‑to‑2D fault extraction in Viewer 3D, enhanced flash overlay outputs, and an improved color scale in PetroFlash, all designed to increase clarity and efficiency in interpretation workflows.

Significant performance improvements

Petromod 2026.1 delivers major speed and efficiency gains across key engines. Flowpath simulations run up to 35% faster, while IP express simulations are four times faster and six times more memory‑efficient, with added support for .sgy and .zgy file formats.

Extended platform and cloud capabilities

On‑demand basin simulation is now available for Linux users, enabling efficient, cloud‑based simulations while supporting on‑premise environments and hybrid workflows.

Stronger risk analysis

Updates to PetroRisk now provide comprehensive risk data outputs, supporting more robust uncertainty analysis and decision‑making.
