Energy Resources Modeling and Simulation with MATLAB and Simulink

MATLAB and Simulink let you customize and speed up the testing and evaluation of upstream and downstream processes via dynamic modeling and simulation. These capabilities can optimize asset performance and production with minimum operating costs and maximum returns on investment.

With MATLAB and Simulink, you can:

  • Customize and scale up 3D design, modeling, and simulation of subsurface and surface processes in conventional, unconventional, or storage reservoirs
  • Analyze seismic and wellbore data in multiple domains using image, signal, and wavelet processing algorithms
  • Speed up large-scale data analysis using computer vision (image and signal processing) and data science (AI, machine learning, and deep learning) with high-power computing (HPC) capabilities
  • Interconnect MATLAB and Simulink with external software applications, create your own application, and automatically generate code as required
