Session Summary: SLB, a global leader in energy technology, demonstrates the transformative impact of advanced simulation technologies in the oil and gas industry. By combining Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and the Discrete Element Method (DEM), SLB addresses critical challenges like inorganic scale deposition in downhole equipment, which can disrupt oil recovery processes. This innovative approach, powered by NVIDIA GPUs on Rescale’s cloud platform, enables detailed modeling of subsurface conditions and particle behavior. The simulations enhance well productivity, optimize production strategies, and reduce maintenance costs, particularly in high-salinity environments like Brazil’s pre-salt fields, setting a new standard for efficiency and risk mitigation in hydrocarbon production.
