BELLEVUE, WA, Sep 29, 2016 – Tecplot, Inc., developer of the leading visualization and analysis software for reservoir engineers, announced the general availability of Tecplot RS 2016 Release 1.

Tecplot RS helps engineers manage and analyze simulation data, uncover knowledge about reservoir model behavior, and gain confidence in making crucial decisions.

With this release, reservoir engineers have the ability to visualize output from the earth model in GRDECL format, which gives them an opportunity to perform a quality control check before running their simulation.

Two main workflows in the reservoir characterization process are building an earth model and running a reservoir simulation. The earth model, which contains the static (or structural) properties serves as an input to the reservoir simulation model. The reservoir simulation model contains the dynamic properties.

“This new capability expands the scope of Tecplot RS,” said Tecplot RS product manager Raja Olimuthu. “It adds more pre-processing capabilities to the existing post-simulation functionality.”
