In a test, ECHELON 2.0 ran an 11.2-million-cell compositional model with nine components across a 20-year forecast in 30 minutes using eight NVIDIA A100 40GB GPUs. Eni used the software for deep-water reservoir, offshore oil field, and deep-water gas field simulations, including calibrating a strategic gas field in North Africa by running hundreds of simulations quickly.","company":"Eni","industry":"Energy","aiCapabilities":["Digital Twins & Simulation"],"technology":["NVIDIA A100 40GB Tensor Core GPUs","NVIDIA V100 Tensor Core GPUs","Stone Ridge Technology ECHELON 2.0"],"deployment":"On-Premise","problemStatement":"Multi-core CPU simulators struggle to retain the reservoir detail and complexity needed for accurate risk analysis of increasingly large geological models; reservoir engineers were spending days or weeks on large clusters simulating upscaled reservoir models.","solutionApproach":"Stone Ridge Technology (SRT) and Eni developed ECHELON 2.0, the first commercial compositional reservoir simulation software designed exclusively to run on NVIDIA GPUs, deployed on Eni's HPC5 supercomputer of 1,820 Dell EMC servers with four NVIDIA V100 Tensor Core GPUs each (7,280 V100 GPUs total).
