CD-adapco to reveal exciting fluid and thermal simulation technology at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), May 1-4, Reliant Center, Houston.

London and New York, April 23, 2006.

More than any other, fluids dominate the oil and gas industry. From the extraction, processing and delivery of the actual hydrocarbons, to designing offshore platforms that are more able to resist the most extreme environmental conditions, understanding the behavior of fluids in and around your process is critical to success in the intensely competitive oil and gas industry. Increasingly, industry leaders are embracing CFD technology in order to gain deeper insight into the impact of fluid dynamics on oil and gas exploration, production and processing. 

Computational Fluid Dynamics (or CFD) is a technique that simulates the flow and thermal behavior of fluids using computer technology. CD-adapco has been providing CFD solutions to the oil and gas industry for more than 25 years. Flow and thermal simulation technology can provide insight into any problem that involves fluid flow (liquid or gas or combinations of both) and has been applied at every stage of the oil and gas production process – from exploration to extraction, from transport to processing.

No-longer the exclusive domain of specialists, CD-adapco’s industry leading CFD technology is delivered in a number of innovative ways that make it accessible to Engineers and Designers regardless of background. Our products are backed by a dedicated team of Engineers and Consultants, including leading specialists in the oil and gas industry, who are on hand to provide expert advice relevant to your application.

Visit booth 4308 to find out how CD-adapco’s CFD technology can be applied to your application area.  Visitors to the booth will also be able to register for an upcoming free web seminar on CFD in the oil and gas industry and enter a competition for the chance to win an iPod Nano.
