PVTsim

PVTsim Nova is a PVT simulation program developed by Calsep A/S. According to the vendor, it is designed to accurately model and analyze reservoir fluid phase behavior, making it a valuable tool for reservoir engineers, flow assurance specialists, PVT lab engineers, and process engineers. PVTsim Nova is aimed at companies of all sizes in the oil and gas industry, as well as professionals in the field of carbon capture and storage (CCS) simulations.

Key Features

Automated Input of Data: According to the vendor, PVTsim Nova supports PRODML and Calsep Excel PVT Templates for importing fluid compositions and PVT data into PVTsim, potentially streamlining the data input process.

EoS Modeling Single Fluids: The vendor claims that PVTsim offers an automated development of an equation of state (EoS) model, allowing users to develop a high-quality EoS model within minutes, potentially saving time and effort.

Field Wide EoS Modeling: According to the vendor, users can develop EoS models for fluids in communication or fluids that will be commingled and produced through the same pipelines and separation process, potentially ensuring accurate representation of real-world scenarios.

Flow Assurance Features: The vendor states that PVTsim accurately simulates the mutual solubility between aqueous and hydrocarbon phases, enabling advanced modeling of hydrates, wax, asphaltenes, and scale, potentially assisting flow assurance engineers in mitigating flow issues.

Interfaces to Reservoir, Flow Assurance, and Process Simulators: According to the vendor, PVTsim provides easy export to widely used reservoir, flow assurance, and process software, including Eclipse, OLGA, Hysys, and more, potentially facilitating integration with existing simulation workflows.

Upgrades & Support: The vendor claims that PVTsim maintenance provides access to the latest version of PVTsim Nova and technical support from Calsep's consultants specialized in thermodynamic modeling of reservoir fluids, potentially ensuring users have access to the latest features and expert assistance.

Real-Time Simulations: According to the vendor, Calsep's Flash API allows fast and robust flash calculations with PVTsim Nova technology for separators, multiphase flow meters, and transient flow systems, potentially enabling real-time simulations for decision-making.
