Advanced Features:

• STARS is CMG's advanced processes simulator for modelling the flow of three-phase, multi-component fluids. It enables you to model with or without dispersed solids, through complex geological formations, including naturally or hydraulically fractured.

• STARS, a comprehensive numerical simulation tool, can be used to model compositional, steam, geomechanical (fracturing, compaction, rock failure), dispersed component (polymers, gels, fines, emulsions, foams), and in-situ combustion processes.

• STARS incorporates a unique discretized wellbore option which allows improved modelling of horizontal wells, while investigating the merits of the SAGD or Single Well SAGD recovery processes.

• STARS simulates a variety of complex oilfield production and enhancement processes beyond the capabilities of conventional black oil and compositional simulators. Whether you're dealing with field scale, pilots, elements of symmetry, or laboratory scale projects, STARS will effectively model:

  • In-situ generation and flow of emulsions and foams (including foamy oils)
  • In-situ precipitation of waxes and asphaltenes
  • Wellbore treatment procedures to manage the injection of chemical additives
  • Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes

STARS is an essential tool for engineers in the field and in the lab. STARS is also an indispensable tool for petroleum managers who are dedicated to significantly increasing their production efficiencies. CMG's STARS simulator leads the way in steam, thermal, and advanced processes simulation.

STARS can be run on multiple operating systems. In addition, full inter-operability among platforms is supported, allowing a job to be run on one platform and be viewed or restarted on another.

STARS Supports the following Operating Systems:

• Windows XP

• Windows XP x64

• Windows Vista x64

• Linux: Red Hat Enterprise 5.0 x86 & x86_64

• IBM pSeries: Red Hat Enterprise 5.0

• IBM AIX 5L (5.3 & higher)
