Software Architecture

The ReO^® program has been developed using object-oriented technologies. The integral object-oriented ObjectStore® database, stores all production system and network configuration data along with computed results. It enables different scenarios to be created, evaluated and easily compared. All modeling and analysis is carried out through a GUI with drag and drop capability allowing easy construction of production networks. A nested sub-sheet facility helps engineers to drill down to greater levels of detail to avoid excessive on-screen complexity for large production systems.

Units can be selected and changed as required. Maps or other diagrams may be imported to allow production models to be correctly and swiftly laid out. The program imposes no restrictions on the complexity of the production system other than physical and logical consistency. A complex network including loops, branches, cross-overs, parallel flowlines and recycle loops can be modeled without constraints or excessive computational time overheads.
