CD-adapco invites you to a one-day workshop that will provide you the opportunity to learn how engineering simulation technology benefits many aspects of oil and gas exploration, production and processing. The oil sands industry will be the specific focus of this event.

This event is free, but registration is required as spaces are limited. Visit our event page for further details and to sign up.

Whether you are new to the field of engineering simulation, experienced in computer-aided design or just have an interest in any of the following, this session will give you helpful insight into how simulation adds more value to:

• Product Design and Optimization
• Field Development and System Design
• Operational Performance Improvement
• Technical Safety and Environmental Management
• Simulation of Solids Transportation and Mixing
• System Integrity Including Erosion and Vibration

Industry-focused examples provided by the presenters will demonstrate how computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is used to improve and optimize equipment design and aid in the development of more effective and reliable oil and gas transportation, production and process systems.

Information on the presenters:
Dr. Matt Straw has spent 20 years tackling engineering simulation challenges. His experience was gained by providing services to the oil and gas industry, including thermal management, solids transport and multiphase flow. He currently works for Norton Straw Consultants, providing engineering, product development and technology management services to its customers.

Alex Read has worked in the engineering simulation industry for over 10 years, much of which has been in the oil and gas industry. As Director of Oil & Gas at CD- adapco, his focus is to lead the direction of the company in this industry and to help ensure CD-adapco software continues to push the boundaries of simulation.
