Striking the right balance

S3connect couples  surface  network models in GAP to one or more reservoir simulation models. The link uses two-way coupling between surface and sub-surface, allowing the   creation of production forecasts that include the full complexity of  the  surface pipeline dynamics and detailed reservoir modelling,  including heterogeneity.

S3connect  provides  a very  simple interface for linking the GAP model to reservoir models,  including  the connection of corresponding wells in the two systems, the  mapping between  the components can also be easily specified. Setup of a  coupled system is  therefore very straightforward, allowing engineers  to concentrate solely on  engineering problems.
