Information regarding reservoir simulator software

[sammy12345]

Hi,
I am a student at the University of Tasmania and I am currently studying Bachelors of Marine and Offshore Engineering.
My final year research thesis is regarding CO2 Enhanced oil recovery method and to analyse my case I need to purchase a basic reservoir package, possibly Eclipse 300 or any other related software through which I can analyse only CO2 Enhanced oil recovery case and through this I want the answers of the following:
What would be production profile before and after injection
How much potential recovery is expected to increase using CO2 injection
What is the economics of the CO2 method, expenses versus potential revenue
I will be highly obliged if you can kindly let me know about the price of the software, how can I purchase it and also which sofware will be best suitable for me because I am a first time user and I am only an undergraduate.

Hi,
you can use ECLIPSE for reservoir simulation. Go to schlumbergers website you'll find out in the software tab. Also can find c***ked versions of the soft on the net (but I don't know whether they work or not ).

Hey Sammy12345,

E300 is not "a basic reservoir simulation package" as you stated. The price is considerably high, even for some small/independent companies. I honestly don't think the price is affordable and buying such an expensive software just to do your thesis is not a good idea.

Try this:

1. Talk to Schlumberger and CMG (Computer Modelling Group) and ask for some educational, free licenses of E300 and/or GEM (CMG's compositional simulator). Sometimes they provide short-time free licenses for students.

2. In case point 1 is not a possible, try free and legal softwares to predict CO2 flooding such as "CO2 MISCIBLE FLOOD PREDICTIVE (COPM)", developed by the US-DOE and available at its website:

WOW,
thanks for the info!

Hi DAH 7542,

Many thanks for your reply, I have sended a message to Schlumberger and CMG (Computer Modelling Group) but didnot got any response from them, I downloaded the CO2 Prophet model from DOE website and its free and easy to use but it requires an older version of Win XP and 32 bit operating system, I am using Win 7 and a 64 bit operating system, do you have any suggestions for this. Not sure if any one uses Win XP these days

Kind regards,
Azeem.
