Traditional integrated production modelling tools are a trade off between accuracy of the model and speed of the simulation.  As a result, either the breadth of the study or the accuracy of the results (or both) need to be compromised in order to complete a conceptual study in a reasonable time.  Maximus, however, employs novel numerical techniques that give orders of magnitude improvements in speed with even higher degrees of accuracy than possible in other simulators, therefore permitting greater confidence in the chosen concept than ever before.

Maximus was released during March 2007. It has already been licensed to market leading decision makers including BP, ConocoPhillips and Woodside, and adopted by FEESA’s consultants as an essential part of their tool kit for both conceptual engineering and flow assurance studies.
