Optimize Asset Potential SynerGEE® Gas’s Optimization Module (Optimizer) extends thefunctionality of the core steady-state network analysis software byconveniently combining the SynerGEE 3.x Energy MinimizationModule (EMM) and Economic Transport Module (ETM) softwareinto the SynerGEE 4.x architecture. Optimizer is a separately licensed module of SynerGEE gearedtoward gas transmission pipeline companies. It provides theanalytical capability to help understand and plan for the complexdynamics between pipeline operation and pipeline economics. Built in the user-friendly SynerGEE desktop environment,Optimizer provides fuel and cost of fuel optimization capabilitiesthat allow you to minimize system-wide volumetric fuelconsumption or system-wide fuel cost. Optimizer can calculatemaximum throughput in various sections of your pipeline networkand can select the most cost-effective mix of contracts when givenaccess to contracts and transportation agreements.been developed and...

Stoner Pipeline Simulator (SPS) leads the world in the fidelity oftransient fluid flow simulation of natural gas pipeline networks.Control system analysis, equipment performance analysis,temperature analysis, composition analysis, pressure-flow capacityanalysis, or any combination of these can be simulated accuratelyand easily with SPS. Of course, SPS performs simplified idealisedsimulations as well. You decide the complexity to fit your needs. Simulation Capabilities SPS provides a comprehensive selection of equations-of-stateincluding BWRS, CNGA and AGA-8. SPS tracks gas compositionwith proven accuracy. You can also specify unique gas properties,such as gas ownership, and track the mixing of these propertiesthroughout the network. As with equipment, you select the level of thermal modelling thatfits your study needs, from a purely isothermal analysis to a fullytransient radial heat transfer...

Strategic Mine Planning – Optimise Mine Profits When exploration and mining companies need to evaluate the financial viability and the optimal mine strategy for a deposit, they turn to the industry leading strategic mine planning solution – Gemcom Whittle™. Companies depend on Whittle to help them determine their investment strategy and to deliver robust mine plans that maximise profitability by taking into account real mining constraints. Whittle delivers trusted results and is used in scoping, feasibility, life-of-mine scheduling, and in the ongoing re-evaluation of mine plans throughout the production phase. Because pit optimisation alone is not enough to unlock the full economic potential of your operation, Whittle provides mine optimisation, which enables significant increases in project value over and above...

Drilling and production environments are clearly growing more complex: ultra-deep wells, complicated offsets, extended horizontal well paths and smaller reservoir targets are becoming the norm. In this environment, prolonged well planning cycles, design miscalculations or the wrong drilling decisions can cost millions of dollars – jeopardizing the project’s profitability. Engineers are challenged daily to efficiently make critical engineering decisions in the face of more complex designs, significantly more data than ever before, and often with a shortfall in experience or training. To help engineers meet these challenges, they require an integrated, multi-user drilling and production engineering environment to facilitate streamlined workflow practices, sound engineering and rapid decision-making. This environment should provide a suite of industryleading applications for well design and...

Schlumberger has released its Petrel 2011 E&P platform. The new release adds the Studio E&P environment, new productivity, and technological advances, the company says. Studio Find provides data and knowledge awareness capability as an extension of the Studio Knowledge database, adds Schlumberger. This gives search, browse and select options within the context of the project and inside Petrel. Favorites lets users make a collection of their most often used processes, and Studio Annotate adds information to highlight items.The 2011 version introduces new technology advances such as a patented coordinate conversion method that enables dynamic positioning of seismic data, the company said. The interactive well section window supports multidisciplinary workflows and interaction with dynamic simulation information; and new or improved interpretation...

The Phast version 6.7 release was available for download from July this year. This is a significant update to the Phast product suite, containing many improvements as well as a new Study Manager utility for combining risk results from multiple studies. PHAST AND PHAST RISKImprovements to Rainout ModellingOver the last few years, we have performed a number of research projects jointly with industry and academia to improve the modelling of rainout. The most recent of these has provided an improved version of the 1994 CCPS correlations to characterise droplet size and size distribution. This new correlation is included in Phast version 6.7 as the default option. Warehouse Model improvementsExtension to the model for instances when there is not enough material...
