PVTflex™ 2010 Software

PVTflex software allows engineers to build fully compositional fluid PVT models. These models form the foundation of all integrated production optimization studies–from individual well to full field optimization. This equation of state (EoS) based application provides far more accurate gas/oil/water phase predictions than the traditional black oil PVT correlations. Furthermore, the compositional PVT predicts the correct phase behavior for condensates and volatile oil fluids, for which very few correlations are available. This application helps engineers in pre-processing reservoir fluid data for efficient handling in the production optimization software as well as tuning the EoS model using laboratory experimental data on the reservoir fluids. The wizard-based graphic user interface coupled with a wide selection of models and tuning options enable users to enter and analyze the data swiftly.
