IMEX PRODUCT OVERVIEW

RESERVOIR FLUIDCHARACTERIZATIONIMEX models multiple fl uid systems, includingcondensates and volatile oils, and allows APItracking for density segregation and mixingeffects in the hydrocarbon system. IMEX can model secondary recovery processes – waterfl ood and gas injection – and some EOR processes: miscible and pseudo-miscible injection; polymer injection; and WAG processes. IMEX also allows forincompatible water mixing and solid scale formation within the reservoir and well system.

CONVENTIONAL RESERVOIRIMEX links directly to sophisticated network facility models to simulate the complete fi eld and surface facilities recovery process. These programs are coupled at the time-step level, allowing accurate forecasting and scheduling of gas fi eld develop-ment. Various types of contract constraints and

controls are available. Multiphase fl ow in both the gathering system and wellbore are handled, giving you the fl exibility to evaluate gas delivery to various plants, to determine optimal compression, to use different compressor specifi cations, to design gas injections, and to optimize fi eld recovery.

IMEX models the fl ow of three-phase oil, gas, water reservoir performance, as well as polymer and pseudo-miscible processes. It models in one, two, or three dimensions, including complex,heterogeneous and faulted structures.

Results 3D image of a large conventional fi eld. A Ternary property is displayed where gas is indicated by pink, oil by green, and water by blue.
