영국 석유공학 관련 소프트웨어 제조사
전남대 에너지자원공학과에 교육용 라이센스 무상 제공
영국의 석유공학 관련 소프트웨어 제조업체인 ‘Petroleum Experts’가 전남대학교 공과대학 에너지자원공학과에 자사의 상용 소프트웨어 IPM(Integrated Production Modeling) suite의 교육용 라이센스를 무상으로 제공했다.
이번에 Petroleum Experts가 제공한 교육용 라이센스는 총 10개로, 영국 파운드 £1,271,258(한화 약 20 억원)에 해당하는 가격이다.
Petroleum Experts는 1990년 설립 이후 석유공학 분야 소프트웨어 개발에 힘쓰고 있는 회사로, 뛰어난 업적을 인정받아 ‘2014 UK Award Winner’에서 EY( Entrepreneur of The Year)를 수상한 바 있다.
IPM suite는 GAP, PROSPER, MBAL, PVTP, REVEAL, RESOLVE로 구성된 총 6개의 모듈을 통해 저류층 및 생산시설을 포함한 석유가스 생산 시스템을 모델링할 수 있다.
이 소프트웨어는 교육용 라이센스 계약에 따라 교육용으로만 사용된다.
Petroleum Experts provides the department of energy and resources engineering students with donation of educational licenses
Petroleum Experts (known as Petex), an engineering company which develops a petroleum engineering software tools, has donated the educational licenses of IPM (Integrated Production Modelling) suite to the department of energy and resources engineering in Chonnam National University (CNU). Petex provides 10 educational licenses and it is equivalent to £1,271,258 (≒₩2,000,000,000). Petex has developed a set of engineering software designed to improve the efficiency of oil and gas fields since founded in 1990. The recent achievement of Petex conbributed to be named EY Entrepreneur of The Year 2014 UK Award Winner in London. The IPM suite can model full production systems from reservoir, the oil and gas wells, to the surface pipeline system and the software is composed as follows:
1. PVTP : Fluid characterization (application of the equation of state)
2. MBAL : Reservoir modelling (define reservoir drive mechanisms and hydrocarbon volumes)
3. REVEAL : Reservoir simulation (considerations for the thermal, rock mechanics and chemistry.
4. PROSPER : Design and optimization program for modelling most types of well configurations.
5. GAP : Multiphase oil and gas optimiser tool that models the surface gathering network of field production systems.
6. RESOLVE : a master controller to communicate and control the link between reservoir simulators, process simulators, other third party software.
Following the educational licenses agreement the software will be used only for the educational purpose.
