New Software Release

INTERSECT High-Resolution Reservoir Simulator 2016.2 Now available

Product details

The INTERSECT high-resolution reservoir simulator goes beyond the capabilities offered by current-generation simulators. The result is improved accuracy and efficiency in field development planning and risk mitigation—even for the most complex fields.

Use the INTERSECT simulator to accurately and quickly model-

  • Complex geological structures
  • Highly heterogeneous formations
  • Challenging wells and completion configurations
  • Advanced production controls in terms of reservoir coupling and flexible field management

Further gains in consistency and productivity are achieved through automation and cross-discipline integration when projects are performed using the INTERSECT simulator together with the Petrel E&P software platform. You’ll have the ability to define the structure and properties of your reservoir, understand your fluids and rock physics, and prepare your field development plan. Uncertainty and optimization simulation studies spanning all geoscience and engineering domains are easily set up and the results analyzed to provide greater confidence in your decisions.

Release details

INTERSECT 2016.2 provides support for adjoint. It calculates a specified objective function and its gradients with respect to defined simulation parameters (grid cell permeability values in this version) to aid history matching. 

INTERSECT 2016.2 changes the run-time license for external controller to INTERSECT Coupler.
