Next Generation PVTsim

For 25 years, PVTsim has been a treasured tool for engineers worldwide to
obtain reliable simulation results for gas and oil properties and phase
equilibria. PVTsim Nova is the next generation of PVT simulators. Calsep has
put all its know-how from the last 30 years as a leading provider of PVT in
this redesign of PVTsim. PVTsim Nova has an improved workflow for
equation of state modeling, improved models, and functionality. PVTsim
Nova is Calseps vision of the ultimate PVT simulator.

Technology
The models in PVTsim Nova are designed to be used both at reservoir, flow,
and process conditions and they are continuously being further developed
to meet new demands. PVTsim Nova has an improved fluid handling
particularly for fluid compositions analyzed to high carbon numbers. In Nova
a user can choose between the classical cubic equations of state and the
more advanced PC-SAFT equation. PVTsim Nova is applicable to all types of
reservoir fluids and can also be used to model solids precipitation,
including gas hydrates, wax, asphaltenes, and scale.

Improved User Experience


PVTsim Nova has an enhanced workflow for EOS modeling.
Injection gases are stored with the fluid and can be linked to specific EOR
experiments. Lumping info is stored between runs and predefined lumping
schemes exist. An improved database structure makes it easier for the user to
keep track of fluids belonging to the same common EOS model. Units can
be changed continuously. A global plot configuration makes it possible to
customize the appearance of plots to match specific purposes.
