Software Enables Hands-on Learning, Modeling Well Performance, and Simulating Reservoir Behavior, Preparing Students for Industry Challenges
Khalifa University has signed an agreement with Petroleum Experts (Petex), a UK-based software provider, which has contributed the equivalent of 拢2,958,163.65 to Khalifa University through the renewal of its suite of advanced engineering tools designed for the oil and gas industry.
The Petex software helps Petroleum Engineering students at Khalifa University to connect theory with practice. Tools like PROSPER and MBAL enable hands-on learning, modeling well performance, and simulating reservoir behavior, preparing students for real-world industry challenges. The widely used software also exposes students to industry-standard tools since the Petex suite is adopted by companies such as the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) as well as international operators.
The agreement between Khalifa University and Petex also covers support for installation assistance, HARDLOCK support, and upgrades at Licensor鈥檚 discretion. The Petex software offers solutions for reservoir simulation, production optimization, and field management. Key products include Integrated Production Modelling (IPM), which integrates reservoir, well, and surface network models, and PROSPER, a tool for well performance analysis, used by students. The software is widely used for optimizing production, enhancing efficiency, and reducing operational costs in complex petroleum systems, while its accuracy and reliability make it an industry standard for petroleum engineering.
