Flowpro Dynamics

Insight software

The industry standard for inflow control simulation

A coupled reservoir-to-surface simulator with CFD-grade completion physics. Two solvers, every major valve type, and direct exports to Eclipse, T-Nav, Intersect, Reveal, and NETool. Use Insight standalone or alongside your existing reservoir simulation workflow.

What Insight delivers

From physics to production gains

Understand

Coupled reservoir to surface

See oil, water, and gas segregation in the annulus, the dynamic valve interactions, and the multiphase riser, all solved together as one coupled system from rock to wellhead.

Optimise

ICT selection, sizing and placement

Pick the right ICD or AICD type, size it, place valves along the wellbore, and run multi-period schedules across full field life with evolving water and gas fractions.

Integrate

Standalone or alongside existing tools

Use Insight as a complete simulator, or export upscaled models directly into Eclipse, T-Navigator, Intersect, Reveal, and NETool. Generate VFPPROD tables in place, no separate tooling required.

Accelerate

Two solvers, one workflow

Analytical zonal solver for fast screening and batch sweeps, 3D finite-difference solver for detailed studies. Both run 3,000,000× faster than standard CFD.

The software

See inside the wellbore

Interactive 3D visualisation, transient simulation dashboards, and per-valve performance analysis in a single interface.

Performance

3M×

Faster than commercial CFD

Insight preprocesses transient CFD annulus simulations and upscales the results, so completion decisions run at reservoir simulator speed without losing the underlying physics.

How it works

01

CFD-grade annulus physics, preprocessed and upscaled per zone into compact tables.

02

Coupled with reservoir, valves, and riser in a single Picard-iterated solve at every schedule period.

03

Run standalone or export directly to Eclipse, T-Nav, Intersect, Reveal, or NETool.

Expanding the workflow

Strengthening Insight as an end-to-end workflow

Alongside the coupled simulator and core CFD physics, several capabilities, co-developed with our operator partners, extend Insight across the full completion engineering lifecycle: from pre-FEED concept screening to post-well diagnostics and autonomous workflow integration.

The transient module

Insight Ultra

The fully transient wellbore module. Full multiphase physics through tubing, annulus, and completion hardware. For shut-in and restart, dynamic valve response, cleanup, and well stability analysis.
