Certainly! If you are Houston based we can arrange a presentation. If you are based outside of the Houston area, please email us (see the contact page).
-
We have benchmarked ReservoirGrail against traditional simulators, and the ReservoirGrail results are very comparable but require much less time, effort, and data to achieve (days vs. weeks).
-
Some of the most common uses include left-behind reserves identification, secondary recovery execution, reserves evaluation, and primary depletion plans.
-
GrailQuest (Swanson Consulting) consulted for independent and integrated petroleum companies on a variety of world-wide projects. Through this experience, we identified a need for a new type of reservoir simulation – one that did not rely on costly datasets. With simplicity and usability in mind, we created a volumetric flow simulator (ReservoirGrail) and patented the approach.
-
We have been performing ReservoirGrail projects since 2001.
-
We offer individual, network, and enterprise licenses. Please send us an email (see the contact page) for price inquiries.
-
ReservoirGrail uses TDVB technology, which is the acronym for Time Dynamic Volumetric Balancing©. This is a proprietary technology developed by GrailQuest in response to an unmet industry need to locate remaining hydrocarbons in mature fields.
-
ReservoirGrail is a pseudo-3D simulator which means that it calculates volumetrics using a 2D map with thickness and height contours. This type of simulation is applicable to 99% of all reservoirs, so we have kept this design for simplicity and efficiency.
