Near Wellbore Analysis

Powered by Petrell’s Brilliant technology, our Near Wellbore Analysis bridges the gap between conventional reservoir simulation and detailed flow physics. By combining CFD, multiphase flow modelling, and thermo-hydro-mechanical analysis, we deliver a deeper understanding of near-well processes, supporting production optimization, injection design, CO₂ storage projects, and well integrity assessments. This advanced approach allows operators to evaluate critical subsurface challenges with a level of detail not achievable using traditional reservoir simulation tools alone. Our unique Near Wellbore Simulator can provide the following studies:

  • Fully coupled reservoir-wellbore flow simulation
  • Thermo-hydro-mechanical integrity assessment
  • Casing, tubing, and formation stress analysis
  • Multiphase flow and phase-transition modelling
  • High-resolution near-well modelling within large-scale reservoir systems

Why Brilliant?

Traditional reservoir simulators are designed for field-scale forecasting. Brilliant complements these tools by providing high-resolution CFD-based analysis of near-wellbore flow behavior, thermal effects, and completion performance.

Benefits include:

  • Higher-resolution flow visualization
  • Improved understanding of injection and production behavior
  • Better completion design decisions
  • Faster evaluation of operational challenges
  • Support for CO₂ storage and energy transition projects
