Maximus 7.3 - Physics based Multiphase Flow Simulator

Released: June 2022, Service Pack - June 2023. This is the last 16-bit version of Maximus.
Maintained until June 2025

List of changes in Maximus 7.3

  • New functionalities
    • History matching, allowing to match production profile data through optimisation of reservoir tank model specifications
    • FloWax LOF integration, allowing to evaluate the effects on the entire network of the wax deposit forming in specific pipe segments, over the life of field
    • FloWax CDT, allowing to simulate the build-up of a wax deposit during a shutdown period
    • Wax aging, allowing to evaluate the hardening of the wax deposit over longer periods of time, due to reduction of the amount of oil trapped in the wax gel
  • User experience
    • Wells scheduler, allowing to interactively specify the conditions for the start-up of additional wells and automatic generation of model variables and events
    • Plots animation, allowing to create animated profile plots by selecting several profile cases (e.g., in life of field, FloWax, sensitivity studies etc.)
    • ESRI ArcGIS integration improvements, allowing to select different types of maps, create objects at specified locations etc.
    • Improvements to the selection of multiple profiles
  • Interfacing and performance
    • Python interface, allowing to integrate Maximus simulation in custom workflows, by specifying and running simulation through Python
    • Restful (cloud) API, allowing to integrate Maximus simulation on the cloud through standardised web access
    • Historian DB connectivity, allowing to connect a Maximus model to a historian database through specific tags and highlight the violation of constraints
    • Run in cloud, allowing the execution of Maximus simulations in the cloud, exploiting the virtually unlimited computer power of the cloud (to be released)
    • Integration of Kongsberg LedaPM 2.7
  • Maximus 7.2
  • Maximus 7.1
  • Maximus 7.0
