The Tempest Suite
The Tempest suite of products delivers a range of powerful engineering solutions for the reservoir. The Tempest suite consists of the following modules:
-
Tempest-View
Tempest-View is a graphical interactive program that provides simulation pre and post processing for the following reservoir simulators: MORE, Nextwell, Eclipse and VIP. Coded in Java, Tempest provides dataset creation, editing, run control, results plotting and 3D visualisation on PC and UNIX platforms.
-
Tempest-Venture
Tempest-Venture is a functional module in the Tempest suite created as a vehicle for economic evaluation and risk analysis. This module comprises an economics facility added to the Data Supervisor of Tempest on the "Economics" tab. The facility is password controlled, and so will only appear if the relevant switch has been purchased.
-
Tempest-MORE
The MORE (Modular Oil Reservoir Evaluation) simulator is based on a generalized compositional solution algorithm. The simulator may be run in equation of state (EOS) or black oil mode. The only difference between these two options is in the treatment of fluid properties. This approach makes it easy to switch between black oil and compositional simulation methods. Depletion, waterflood, condensate cycling and miscible gas flood processes can be simulated without changing simulator.
-
Tempest-PVTx
Tempest-PVTx provides the user interface to the original PVTx program and avoids the need to learn a simulator-style input language for all but a few specialist features. In addition, it provides graphical and tabular methods of displaying PVT data and computations.
