SIM Reservoir - Better understand fluid flow

SIM Reservoir allows you to visualize multiple aspects of your reservoir in one view. You can add as many ISO-surfaces as you like, include vector fields and streamlines, add and interactively drag cross sections across your model to identify fluid behavior. The figure shows how a single view can include multiple sources of information. Pressure fronts arising from the two production wells are shown as ISO surfaces surrounding the wells. Vector field visualization of the permeability eigenvectors will emphasize the principal direction and magnitude of flow. Production pies show how gas is produced in high quantities in the closest well. A clipping plane which is showing the 3-Phase property, Oil, Water and Gas (green, blue and red) highlights a water breakthrough taking place in the top right corner. The cross field layer is showing the pore volume and is slightly transparent to allow the user to clearly see the pressure fronts. If streamline simulations were performed, these too could have been added to the scene allowing the user to see connectivity of the cells and the simulated reach of the producing wells.
