Thermal & Advanced Processes Simulator
STARS™ is the industry standard in thermal, chemical EOR, and other advanced processes.
Robust reaction, well, and thermal capabilities make STARS the most complete and flexible reservoir simulator available for even the most advanced processes.
Improve Design, Management, and Recovery
Simulate simple to highly complex thermal recovery processes, which require accurate modelling of steam distribution and conformance to provide insight into reservoir, wellbore, and geomechanical caprock integrity issues. With STARS, engineers can design optimal well and field development plans while effectively managing steam conformance, production profiles, recovery, and ultimately Net Present Value (NPV).
Accurate and Robust
FlexWell accurately and robustly models advanced well completions, including concentric wellbores, flow control devices (FCDs), and well geometry to maximize recovery and NPV.
Model Complex Processes
Design and evaluate the effectiveness of all cEOR processes. STARS is the only simulator that accounts for the complex phenomena required to accurately model processes such as Alkaline-Surfactant-Polymer (ASP) flooding, Low Salinity Water (LSW) injection, and foam flooding at a lab or field scale.
Benefits
- Accurately model the physics of in-situ recovery processes including complex thermal phenomena.
- Model complex wellbore physics associated with heat transfer and fluid flow in the wellbore.
- Utilize full physics capabilities to model of a wide range of chemical EOR processes.
- Test the impact of recovery process on reservoir rock by including geomechanical effects in the simulation model.
- Attain results faster with multi-core and multi-node capabilities.
