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...

gPROMS is the leading Advanced Process Modelling environment for the process industries. It can be applied across many application areas in all process sectors. gPROMS’s process modelling, process simulation and optimisation capabilities are used to generate high-accuracy predictive information for decision support in product and process innovation, design and operation. gPROMS is an equation-oriented modelling system used for building, validating and executing first-principles models within a flowsheeting framework. Models are constructed in the gPROMS ModelBuilder by writing down the fundamental chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, operating procedures and other relationships that govern the process or product behaviour. The resulting model is then validated against observed data — typically, laboratory, pilot plant or operating data — to adjust model parameters such as...
