Schlumberger Symmetry 2025: Unified Reservoir Engineering Platform

Schlumberger Symmetry 2025 is the latest version of the industry-leading integrated and interactive reservoir simulation platform. Part of the Schlumberger (now SLB) ecosystem, it enables reservoir engineers, geoscientists, and asset teams to build, simulate, and optimize models of complex reservoirs, wells, and surface facilities within a single, collaborative environment.

Key Features & Capabilities

1. Integrated Full-Field Modeling

  • Seamless Workflow Integration: Unifies geological modeling, well modeling, and surface network simulation into a single, consistent platform for full-system analysis.

  • Unified Model Environment: Allows for the direct integration of static geological models with dynamic simulation data, ensuring consistency from geomodel to forecast.

2. Advanced Simulation & Analysis

  • Powerful Simulation Engine: Capable of handling highly complex and large-scale models, including fractured reservoirs, EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) processes, and compositional behavior.

  • Uncertainty & Optimization Analysis: Integrated tools for assisted history matching, forecasting, and quantifying uncertainty to support robust decision-making under risk.

3. Collaborative Asset Team Workflow

  • Shared Asset Models: Provides a common platform for geoscientists, reservoir, and production engineers to work on a shared earth model, improving collaboration and reducing cycle time.

  • Interactive Visualization: Advanced 3D visualization and analysis tools for interpreting simulation results, understanding fluid flow, and identifying opportunities.

4. Enhancements in the 2025 Release
This version continues to push the boundaries of integrated simulation:

  • Improved Performance & Scalability: Enhanced solver technology and parallel processing for faster simulation runs on complex models.

  • Expanded Physics & EOR Modeling: Updated and more robust capabilities for modeling advanced recovery mechanisms.

  • Streamlined User Experience: Workflow and interface refinements to improve usability and efficiency for both new and expert users.
