Pars Reservoir Simulator - Automatic History Matching Technology

the research institute of petroleum industry (RIPI) and heinemann oil ltd (HOL) cooperate closely in the development of a reservoir simulator , tailored to typical iranian reservoir conditions and the needs of the national petroleum industry since 2006. the name of the product is Pars Reservoir Simulator (PRS). the benefit of owning such a key technology with fully access to the source code is evident. only in this case it is possible to maintain , improve and exten this tool, making benfit from the national research efforts and the gained field experiences. PRS is not an academic research tool. it is comparable and competitive to all commercial products with respect to the wideness of applicability , size of the models CPU time and user friendliness . it is an all purpose simulator equally handling black oil and compositional single and dual porosity and permeability models usable on unstructured and time depending grids. PRS is still under development ; new features are added continuously to the package but it is tested in iranian full field projects already RIPI and HOL are confident that the iranian companies can make benefit from this development within the next two years. the application of PRS was made easy; it can operate on the input of the most frequently used simulator , which means , that it can be used also complementary to those.
