Black Oil & Unconventional Simulator

IMEX

IMEX™ is the leading black oil reservoir simulator for modelling primary, secondary, and tertiary oil recovery processes.

Quickly screen prospects, set up pilot designs, monitor and optimize field operations, and improve production performance.

Conventional Black Oil Reservoirs

Reservoir Modelling for Reliable Forecasts with AI

Model simple to structurally complex, heterogeneous, faulted, and fractured oil and gas reservoirs, using small to very large scale multi-million grid cell models to achieve reliable production forecasts. Use an Adaptive-Implicit formulation along with integrated artificial intelligence to minimize run times without sacrificing data integrity.

Unconventional Reservoirs

Accurate Production Forecasting

Model naturally and/or hydraulically fractured reservoirs to accurately capture transient flow behaviour and to achieve more accurate and better production forecasts.

Segmented Wells

Intelligent Wellbore Flow and Pressure Modeling

Model the flow and pressure change throughout the wellbore branches, tubing strings, and equipment with an intelligent segmented wells module.

Secondary & Tertiary Oil Recovery

Field Development Optimization for Complex Reservoirs

Evaluate and optimize field development plans and predict recovery for primary and secondary recovery methods in complex and heterogeneous reservoirs. IMEX allows for fast analysis of complex recovery mechanisms using a simplified black oil approach before moving to GEM™ or STARS™ for more detailed analysis. These processes include, but are not limited to, Low Salinity Waterflood; Polymer; Surfactant; Miscible gas injection.

Benefits

Quickly screen various recovery mechanisms before moving to more complex simulations.
Model complex hydraulic fracture networks, and all associated effects, to accurately history match field results.
Fast and easy transition to EOR process modelling in GEM™ and STARS™.
Seamless integration with CMOST™ for rapid history matching and optimization of reservoir management workflows.
