2011 GENERAL RELEASE CDROM (2011.102.G) This is the General Release of the CMG Software for 2011. This release will install all of the 2011.10 versions of the different products. The following features have been added to the General release: – Launcher can import and export scheduler settings. – Builder can uplayer the reservoir in an intuitive manner and show the user geologic boundaries. The FlexWell Event Scheduler has been updated to allow the user to change the well status through the scheduler. Builder allows the user to retain property modifications (by keeping the MOD keyword) when re-calculating property values. It is also possible to add non-uniform refinement in Builder. – Support for new simulator keywords has been added to Builder/Results,...

Schlumberger announced the release of Petrel* 2010 software, which offers powerful new capabilities providing more comprehensive risk analysis for exploration workflows. Tony Bowman, president, Schlumberger Information Solutions (SIS), announced the release at the 2010 SIS Global Forum in London. “Until now, most of the effort in exploration workflows has focused on assessing trap and reservoir. This latest release of Petrel will enable our clients to improve their exploration success by providing tools to systematically analyze risk associated with trap, reservoir, charge and seal.” To more effectively define trap, Petrel 2010 adds the modeling-while-interpreting* functionality to automatically create a structural framework while interpreting. This capability allows geoscientists to rapidly test structural uncertainty and pass a high integrity structural framework directly into...

Plaxis 2D v9 is a finite element package intended for the two dimensional analysis of deformation and stability in geotechnical engineering. input_output.gif Geotechnical applications require advanced constitutive models for the simulation of the non linear, time dependent and anisotropic behaviour of soils and/or rock. In addition, since soil is a multi phase material, special procedures are required to deal with hydrostatic and non hydrostatic pore pressures in the soil. Although the modelling of the soil itself is an important issue, many projects involve the modelling of structures and the interaction between the structures and the soil. Plaxis is equipped with features to deal with various aspects of complex geotechnical structures. A brief summary of important features of the program can...
