An industry record was achieved recently when the EXPEC Advanced Research Center (EXPEC ARC) completed its first giga-cell (billion cell) reservoir simulation run. The achievement was made using GigaPOWERS, the advanced next-generation parallel reservoir simulator. It further solidifies Saudi Aramco's undisputed industry leadership in the area of parallel reservoir simulation. Khalid A. Al-Falih, accompanied by Exploration and Producing senior management, congratulated EXPEC ARC during a luncheon and received a plaque commemorating the event. “I am very proud of this feat, " said Al-Falih, executive vice president of Operations. “Achievements such as this buttress our effective strategy to manage our reservoirs and symbolize our commitment to the stewardship and sustainability of our precious hydrocarbon resources. It is also a manifestation of our expanding technology leadership in the industry.”
