Olga 2023.2 is available now
Friday, 03 November 2023
The Olga™ dynamic multiphase flow simulator models transient flow (time-dependent behaviors) to maximize production potential. Transient modeling is an essential component for feasibility studies and field development design. Dynamic simulation is essential in deep water and is used extensively in both offshore and onshore developments, to investigate transient behavior in pipelines and wellbores. Transient simulation with the Olga simulator provides an added dimension to steady-state analysis, by predicting system dynamics, such as time-varying changes in flow rates, fluid compositions, temperature, solids deposition, and operational changes.
From wellbore dynamics, for any well completion, to pipeline systems with various types of process equipment, the Olga simulator provides an accurate prediction of key operational conditions involving transient flow.
Updates to Olga model management functionalities
In Olga 2023.1 we introduced the connection between the Olga simulator on-premise and Olga model management in the cloud. As part of our continuous work on our model management capabilities, we are now introducing several important upgrades.
In the updated Olga model management interface, the user can choose if they want to work on desktop or in the cloud workstation. With Olga 2023.2 it will now be possible to open cases in the desktop Olga simulator GUI, directly from the Olga model management web interface. In the previous version of the Olga simulator, it was not possible to use parametric study together with model management. In this release we have enabled model management for parametric studies. We have also enabled the possibility of using risk management and optimization (RMO) studies together with model management. In this version of the Olga simulator, it is possible to trigger cloud simulations (via the flow assurance [FA] workspace) from the desktop Olga simulator GUI. With this release we have also significantly increased the usability, and user friendliness of the connection, which will give the full benefit of on-prem to cloud integration.
The previous Olga 2023.1 was not released in Domain profiles on Delfi™. Olga 2023.2 will be the first version in Domain profiles on Delfi which is fully integrated with Olga model management.
Further details on changes in Olga 2023.2 can be found in the Olga simulator release notes which are available for download via the production software download server on the SLB Software Download Center.
The product is suitable for use by production, process, and flow assurance engineers, and those involved in multiphase flow simulation.
