In 2016, we achieved the industry’s first trillion-cell simulation and hydrocarbon migration algorithm, run on the latest evolution of our parallel oil and water enhanced reservoir simulator – POWERS.
We developed POWERS in-house, and at the time of its first deployment in 2000, it was capable of million-cell models. In 2010, we unveiled GigaPOWERS, which ran billion-cell models.
Now, the development of TeraPOWERS will make it possible to model the physics of our hydrocarbon reservoirs from microscopic rock pore scale all the way to giant field and even basin scale.
