Oil & Gas

The oil and gas industries increasingly depend on robust technologies to optimize the exploration, extraction, processing, and transportation of products—even in harsh and extreme environments.

With the modern advancements in technology, oil and gas extraction and recovery has greatly improved. For example, new techniques of offshore drilling, hydrofracturing, and electro-drilling has eased the process of oil extraction in complex geological landscapes, with minimal impact to the environment.

To develop innovative and highly capable machinery, suitable for a variety of scenarios, engineers in the oil and gas industry rely on electronic (electromagnetic, electromechanical, signal processing), computation fluid dynamics (CFD), and finite element analysis (FEA) ANSYS simulation software.

The simulation driven product development enables engineers to refine and improve design ideas, minimize errors in new oil extraction concepts, and improve their confidence in delivering reliable products.

Here are more benefits of using simulation software from ANSYS:

• Improving the reliability of recovery processes and machinery
• Ensuring compliance to the stipulated regulations
• Maximizing extraction and production processes
• Effectively addressing various geological issues—such as sand and water erosion
• Comprehensive analysis of piping machinery and explosion susceptibilities
• Optimizing and guaranteeing sufficient oil and gas yields
• Assuring machinery dependability and employees’ safety
• In-depth understanding of various structural issues, such as wind and wave loads and impact resistance in a hostile environment.
