PVT Designer
Fluid Property Modelling
Build, match and export PVT models for black oil, compositional and thermal simulation.
Accurate Fluid Property Modelling for Reservoir Simulation
tNavigator’s PVT Designer is fluid property modelling software for creating, matching and exporting PVT models for black oil, compositional and thermal simulations. It lets reservoir engineers accurately characterise reservoir fluids using experimental data, advanced equations of state and flexible modelling workflows.
Improve Simulation Accuracy with Reliable Fluid Models
Accurate PVT modelling is essential for predicting fluid behaviour and ensuring reliable reservoir simulation results. PVT Designer lets users build precise fluid models, match laboratory data and generate simulation-ready PVT tables – improving forecasting accuracy and reducing uncertainty.
Advanced Composition Management
Use flexible tools to manage fluid components, including lumping, splitting and blending, with support for multiple equations of state.
Seamless Integration with Simulation
Export PVT tables and keywords directly into simulation workflows, ensuring consistency across modelling and forecasting processes.
PVT Designer supports a full range of fluid characterisation workflows:
- Black oil, compositional and thermal modelling – support multiple simulation approaches.
- PVT experiment modelling – simulate and match CCE, DLE, CVD, swelling, MMP and grading tests.
- Equation of state (EOS) modelling – apply advanced equations of state, such as GERG-2008.
- Phase envelope generation – analyse phase behaviour across pressure and temperature ranges.
- Experimental data matching – calibrate models using laboratory measurements.
- Component management – perform lumping, splitting, blending and delumping of components.
- Pseudo-component modelling – simplify complex fluid systems.
PVT Designer is fully integrated within the tNavigator platform:
- Provide fluid properties for reservoir simulation models.
- Support Model Designer workflows for consistent model preparation.
- Enable accurate inputs for Network Designer and Well Designer.
