We've set a course to create the fastest reservoir simulation software in the world.
Stone Ridge Technology (SRT) was founded in Bel Air, Maryland by Dr. Vincent Natoli in 2005. Beginning as a company offering consulting services in high performance computing, Dr. Natoli employed top-tier physicists, computer scientists and applied mathematicians creating a company which became known as having broad expertise in computational science, numerical algorithms, and emerging accelerator technologies such as GPUs. The SRT team set course to create the fastest reservoir simulation software in the world developing codes to take advantage of the performance GPUs offered, an idea which led the entire industry to follow suit. SRT began marketing ECHELON software actively in 2016. In 2018 SRT signed a widely publicized cooperative development agreement with Eni, S.P.A, the Italian energy leader.
Focusing on efficiency, accuracy, and speed, we're transforming reservoir engineering workflows by designing best-in-class reservoir simulation software and experiences rooted in data and technological expertise.
In 2018 SRT signed a cooperative development agreement with Eni S.P.A for the development of ECHELON, our GPU-based petroleum reservoir simulator. Both companies have committed people, time and resources to the goal of creating the most advanced simulator tools in the industry. As part of the agreement, Eni has an unlimited license to use ECHELON for its worldwide business. SRT and Eni work closely together to establish priorities, architect, develop, test and validate ECHELON.
We are grateful to Eni for creating this video which was displayed on their stand during ADIPEC 2021.
“The speed and flexibility of ECHELON will be the key elements for the subsurface modelling in the energy transition pathway.”
“Its [ECHELON's] implementation significantly changed our activities because, thanks to the speed of ECHELON (...) we were able to better calibrate the reservoir model (...) and span all the relevant uncertainties by creating hundreds of simulations in a short time.”
“In very few days our reservoir engineer was able to carry-out thousands of fluid-dynamic simulations, varying many different reservoir parameters, from geological and engineering point of view: a remarkable performance for a full range risk analysis, not achievable with any other available software.”
ECHELON reservoir simulation software, our high-performance petroleum reservoir simulator makes light work of complex black-oil and compositional models and has garnered a reputation for exceptional speed. ECHELON software is changing how reservoir engineers work by making them more efficient and opening up workflows that were previously thought to be too compute intensive.
