HyperWorks in the Oil & Gas Industry
Altair HyperWorks is being used by leading petroleum companies to discover more efficient ways to meet the world's growing energy needs while addressing expectations of economic and environmental responsibility. Some of their most challenging work occurs far offshore where 10,000 feet of seawater separates operators from their wells. In those environments, advanced preparation can save billions of dollars and years of effort and CAE simulation plays a critical part in the preparation.
- Structural Geology: Using a finite element approach to build structural geology models, engineers and scientists are able to characterize and predict how rock formations like strata and fault lines will react to drilling and extraction before production even begins. HyperMesh is the premier tool for modeling structural geology problems.
- Offshore and FPSO modeling: model and simulate complex non-linear phenomena such as umbilical design and installation and offshore structure decommissioning
- Resource Management: PBS Professional is the tool of choice for high-performance computing management of oil exploration software
