PumaFlow, with its powerful heat transfer calculations from underground to surface facilities, is designed for geothermal production challenges.
An interactive design for capillary pressure and relative permeability, featuring drainage and imbibition, hysteresis, miscibility, interfacial tension, J-function, and both static and dynamic endpoints.
Is your CO2 miscible with oil at the current reservoir pressure? With or without lab data, the PVT package helps characterize your hydrocarbon mixture and water properties at different pressure and temperature conditions.
With best-in-class fracture modeling and simulation, you can understand and represent fracture-matrix exchange and the impact of a dual medium on fluid flow and production from hydrocarbon or deep geothermal reservoirs.
A fluid flow simulator for a Mixed Energy era
PumaFlow simulates the CO2 injection into depleted reservoirs for storage purposes. It can be used to assess the impact of CO2 injection on the oil recovery. Its specialised PVT option handles CO2 interaction with oil without requiring compositional PVT data.
PumaFlow simulates recoverable heat energy from mature oilfields’ water production for retrofitting purposes. Its advanced dual medium option makes it ideal for deep geothermal simulations, addressing heat energy recovery and inherent uncertainties.
