Maximus is an advanced simulation software designed to
model Oil & Gas production systems and to optimise these systems
in a variety of ways. Maximus is a fully Windows compatible
software that operates with a Multi-Document Interface (MDI) meaning
that several models can be open concurrently as shown in the figure
below. The figure has two example models loaded:
a large gathering network with about 130 wells and about 200 branches
and a simple constrained depletion case with 3 wells connected
to a reservoir.
At
the heart of Maximus is a sophisticated Network Solver based on modern numerical
algorithms and able to generate very accurate solutions. The Network Solver essentially constructs
a large system of equations from all of the physical models comprising
a given production system and then imposes the User’s boundary
conditions before solving for the unknowns. This results in predicted oil, gas and water flow rates
and pressures and temperatures through the production system as
well as a host of other useful parameters, such as fluid velocities,
holdups, compositions etc.
