该项目将提供卓越的油藏模拟软件程序，展示新型大规模并行计算架构的优势，从而更好地管理地下油藏。该项目的创新之处在于将多重实现能力（MR）引入到新的高性能计算油藏模拟器中。这一创新将提高油藏工程师的生产效率，使他们能够了解模型中的不确定性，并提供历史匹配和预测优化方案。今天的工作实践受到需要控制应用程序、访问模拟器许可证、适当的硬件和有限的时间的阻碍。将MR功能添加到模拟器将导致改进的模型，能够更好地预测，同时降低硬件和软件所有权的总成本。该项目汇集了领先的硬件、软件开发和油藏工程专家，为模拟工具的能力提供了一个阶段性的变化，使工程师能够制定开发计划，以优化油田生产。

This project will provide a superior reservoir simulation software program, demonstrating the benefits of a new massively parallel computing architecture, to enable better management of sub-surface reservoirs. The innovation in this project is to bring multiple realisation capability (MR) into a new HPC reservoir simulator. This innovation will empower Reservoir Engineers to be more productive, enabling them to understand the uncertainty in the models as well as offering history matching and forecasting optimisation options. Today's work practices are hampered by the need to have a controlling application, access to simulator licenses, appropriate hardware and limited time. Adding MR capability into the simulator will lead to improved models, capable of better predictions, whilst reducing the total cost of hardware and software ownership.This project brings together leading edge hardware, software development and reservoir engineering experts to provide a step change in capability of the simulation tools to enable engineers to formulate development plans to optimise field production.
