PumaFlow is IFP’s new generation reservoir simulator featuring rigorous physical formulations, high performance computing, brand-new user-oriented interface and work environment. PumaFlow has been validated by Beicip-Franlab on some of the world’s largest or most complex oil fields in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Russia.
PumaFlow is a reservoir simulator solution suited for all kind of fields, whatever the geology or the fluid composition. Thanks to its first-class physics, PumaFlow helps optimizing production and improving recovery of oil and gas fields.
PumaFlow Blackoil
PumaFlow Blackoil is a three-phase, three- dimensional reservoir simulator for general-purpose black oil simulation, including miscible gas injection processes.
PumaFlow Compositional
The PumaFlow compositional is designed for modeling the flow of multi-phase, multi-component fluids, wherever
understanding of the complex phenomena and interactions between components is essential to improving recovery.
PumaFlow for fractured reservoirs
PumaFlow is the reference simulator for fracturedreservoirs. Its dual medium simulation is based on a rigorous formulation of matrix-fracture exchanges.
Shape factors are computed according to flow direction, production mechanism and time.
The flow calculation between fractures and matrix takes into account capillary, gravitational and viscous forces, diffusion and block-to-block re-imbibition.
IFP’s fractured reservoir modeling tool, FracaFlow, is tightly linked with PumaFlow and allows to calculate and export fractured reservoir flow parameters in a seamless way, emerging the added value of the PumaFlow solution for fractured reservoir simulation.
Gas gravity drainage & Capillary imbibition
PumaFlow Thermal
PumaFlow provides a reliable solution for various thermal processes (e.g. steam injection, air injection, in-situ combustion, Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage process).
The thermal options may be combined with dual medium options for fractured field applications. Extensive proven
applications have been achieved in Canada, Venezuela, Middle East, Russia etc.
PumaFlow Parallel
The parallel option in PumaFlow offers superior computing performances by reducing the simulation time. PumaFlow exploits the benefits of cluster technology (Open MP or MPI parallel computing).
Parallel technology can be applied to PumaFlow Blackoil, PumaFlow Compositional, PumaFlow Dual Medium and
PumaFlow Thermal simulators.
