Latest Roxar Tempest™ Reﬁnes Flow Simulation
STAVANGER, NORWAY-Roxar
Tempest™ 8.1, the latest version of
Emerson Automation Solutions' reservoir
management software suite, provides
robust and efficient numerical solutions
to help reservoir engineers maximize
field recovery, Emerson reports.
The company says the release complements and enhances the advanced
uncertainty analysis delivered by Ensemble smoother-based history matching,
and provides a new means of representing
flow behavior in the vicinity of fractures.
The Roxar software solution portfolio
also now offers a complete seismic to
simulation package that can be run in

Big Loop™ workflows for advanced decision support, Emerson adds.
The new fractured well feature in the
reservoir simulation module Tempest
MORE handles the physics of the fracture-to-well connection and the multiphase
flow within the fracture. The ability to do
this for hundreds of wells in large, fullfield studies with practical run times is
truly unique, Emerson says.
According to Emerson, other simulation-related enhancements include
brine tracking to follow the salinity of
the water and model its effects throughout
the simulation.

By providing new ways to represent ﬂow behavior in fractured
wells, Emerson Automation Solutions' Roxar Tempest™ 8.1 helps
reservoir engineers maximize recovery. The company says the
new version also improves simulation performance and uncertainty analysis, and offers an integrated workﬂow from the geosciences to production.

Cenovus Selects Nozomi To Protect SCADA Systems
SAN FRANCISCO-Cenovus Energy
Inc. has selected Nozomi Networks to
provide cybersecurity for its industrial
control systems (ICS), Nozomi Networks
reports. The company says it will equip
Cenovus' remote production sites with
real-time monitoring, security and analytics
to ensure operations are running effectively
and without compromise.
"When it came to cyber security for
critical systems, we wanted the most advanced technology available," says Andrew
Dutton, group lead at Cenovus. "After extensive review, we chose Nozomi Networks.
The company brought superior know-how
in ICS cyber security and a proven track
record with other industry leaders."
According to Nozomi, Cenovus' primary operation focuses on two key production platforms. One involves top-tier
assets in the oil sands region in northern
Alberta, while the other is a large land
base with significant production in the
Deep Basin, a liquids-rich natural gas
fairway in Alberta and British Columbia.

Quorum Acquires WellEZ To Provide Well Analytics
HOUSTON-Quorum has acquired
WellEz, which it says adds well life cycle
analytics to Quorum's cloud-based suite,
which also includes land management,
accounting, field operations and energy
marketing.
"Well life cycle analytics will allow
our customers to better navigate the uncertain economic climate by streamlining
operations and minimizing costs," says
