In this training class, you will rigorously model heat exchangers and monitor fouling trends to minimize environmental impact of industrial processes, by reducing energy consumption or recovering energy. 

A common engineering task is the design of a new heat exchanger, or evaluation of an existing exchanger to verify it will perform properly in a new service. A successful design requires engineers to accurately predict exchanger thermal performance, pressure drop, and risk of vibration in the field. It is therefore advisable to rigorously model exchangers with detailed calculations to provide more confidence in the results than would be obtained utilizing simplified ‘short-cut’ calculations. Aspen Exchanger Design and Rating has the capability to perform sophisticated exchanger calculations, which account for equipment geometry, materials, and operating conditions. This technology can help reduce capital costs by enabling engineers to optimally-design exchangers.

In this training course, participants will build, run and analyze the simulation of injecting carbon dioxide into porous rock. This will be achieved by using Aspen Tempest MORE and Aspen Tempest VIEW employing a gas/water black oil model.

In this training course, participants will become familiar with the Aspen METTE interface and processes by executing a forecasting study for a closed-loop well for geothermal applications. The forecasting involves a network simulation with a defined set of production targets and maximum/minimum constraints. Upon completing the course, participants will be equipped to efficiently build closed-loop wells and explore various scenarios.

In this training course, participants will build, run, and analyze a geothermal simulation in porous and non-porous rock. This will be achieved using Aspen Tempest MORE and Aspen Tempest VIEW, employing a black oil model with single phase water injection below the boiling point of water.

Generating an accurate interpretation and model of the subsurface is a crucial step in optimizing hydrogen storage in salt formations and improving our understanding of the salt structure and properties for cavern leaching.

The objective of this training is to provide you with the skills to effectively use the tools available in Aspen SeisEarth and Aspen SKUA for interpreting and modeling salt surfaces. You will be introduced to various methods for creating 3D structural models with salt and modeling properties. By following one of these methods, you will create a facies model within the salt intrusion.

Unlock the full potential of reservoir management with this comprehensive training designed for professionals seeking to enhance their skills in cutting-edge subsurface workflows. Dive into advanced methodologies, from predictive modeling of reservoir performance using uncalibrated simulator decks to powerful proxy-based and ensemble smoother history-matching techniques.

Gain hands-on expertise in diagnostic tools, including quality tables, modifier distributions, pairs plots, and MCMC chain analysis, to identify and mitigate uncertainties. Explore future prediction workflows to assess reservoir behavior under multiple development scenarios and discover optimization strategies that maximize net present value (NPV) through refined reservoir model adjustments.
