PowerGrid™ software applies gridding and upscaling techniques that make earth models ideal for fast reservoir simulation without sacrificing detail. By applying local grid refinements around well bores, faults, and channels, the software enables more accurate flow prediction. ​When geologists and reservoir engineers upscale earth models for reservoir simulations, they shouldn’t have to compromise key geologic features such as fault or well locations. An add-on module to Landmark’s Nexus® reservoir simulation software, PowerGrid™ software applies gridding and upscaling techniques that make earth models ideal for fast reservoir simulation without sacrificing detail. By applying local grid refinements around well bores, faults, and channels, the software enables more accurate flow prediction. PowerGrid software's intelligent upscaling and downscaling workflows optimize models for simulations while retaining the detail you need in critical areas. "Clever Coarsening" technology intelligently detects faults and coarsens away from them, while local grid refinements add detail around faults, wells, or wherever needed.
