Intersect simulator
Industry-leading reservoir simulation technology - with the physics, performance, and resolution you need for every asset
Overview
The Intersect? reservoir simulator empowers reservoir engineers to tackle today’s most complex subsurface challenges with confidence.
Combining leading science, superior performance, and flexible gridding, the Intersect simulator delivers fast, scalable modeling for every reservoir type—whether it is a mature oil and gas fields, appraisal/exploration fields, unconventionals, or new energy applications like CO2 storage.
Seamlessly bridging data from geology, geophysics, geomechanics, and production engineering, the Intersect simulator enables smarter, more integrated workflows. It helps teams simulate reservoir behavior with greater accuracy, and in a faster, more cost-effective manner than ever before..
The result? Sharper insights, optimized recovery strategies, and more confident field development decisions.
Applications
The Intersect reservoir simulator supports:
- Comprehensive reservoir modeling: supports conventional and unconventional reservoirs
- Enhanced oil recovery: simulate chemical, miscible, and thermal EOR processes including alkali, surfactant, polymer, low salinity, and gas injection
- CO2 storage and new energies: models for CO2 injection and storage in saline aquifers and depleted reservoirs, hydrogen storage, geothermal, and critical minerals extraction
- Well modeling: near wellbore effects and advanced well completions, including horizontal and multilateral wells
- Field development planning: optimize and evaluate production, depletion, and injection strategies
- Integrated surface-subsurface modeling: couple multiple reservoirs and surface networks for dynamic forecasting and operational planning

Features
Intersect 2026.1
New asphaltene modeling capability for improved reservoir performance prediction
An asphaltene model has been introduced to provide a framework for modeling asphaltene formation and its impact on reservoir performance. The model captures the asphaltene phases, from precipitation and flocculation to deposition, and quantifies their effects on fluid viscosity and reservoir permeability.
Comprehensive simulation of fracture behavior with projection-based embedded discrete fracture modeling (pEDFM)
Building on the embedded discrete fracture modelling (EDFM) capabilities first introduced in Intersect 2024.1, this release extends the method with projection-based capabilities that enable accurate representation of flow-reducing or blocking fractures. This delivers a more realistic simulation of fracture behaviors.
Geoscreening engine—now available in multiscale for more confident reservoir modeling
A geologic screening engine is now available within the multiscale framework. It enables you to quickly set up and run, at low computational cost, numerical experiments on entire ensembles to rank, screen, and select geologic models.
