Tecplot RS is a reservoir simulation management and analysis tool that allows engineers and scientists to uncover knowledge about reservoir model behavior giving them the confidence to make crucial decisions.
Overview
As a reservoir engineer, you may create dozens, if not hundreds, of reservoir simulation runs where model properties or operating conditions are changed. Running the same model with different reservoir simulators can improve your confidence in these models. Directly comparing different simulations helps you better understand the influences on dynamics of reservoir fluids.
Grid Solutions Comparison Feature

- Interactively compare up to four different grid solutions for 2D and 3D grid plots in side-by-side view
- Synchronized solutions in time and space allow simultaneous animations
- Grids are not required to be identical and solutions may come from different reservoir simulators
- Display the Delta between the reference solution and the comparison solutions
History Match Analyzer
- Automatically calculate history match factors for multiple simulation runs
- Compare data from multiple runs with historical well data while simultaneously viewing the well location in the context of the grid solution
- Interactively define well groups and compare group results for multiple simulations
- Use delta bubbles to identify regions where the simulation over/under predicts
- Modify properties for selected regions and output for subsequent runs
Well Optimization
- Interactively seed streamtraces in the reservoir flow
- Load well allocation factors from major streamline simulators or a .csv file
- Calculate and plot production data for well patterns
- Explore 3D solutions with arbitrary slices, blanking, and iso-surfaces
- Easily perform sums and integrations of properties in regions and layers

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tecplot RS?
Tecplot RS is a reservoir simulation visualization and analysis tool for oil and gas reservoir modeling. It helps increase productivity and offers a full range of options (line graphs, 2D cross sections and 3D grid plots) for analyzing data. Tecplot RS brings all your reservoir simulation and observed data together, enabling you to rapidly explore, compare, and understand your data, which ultimately helps increase your confidence in the decisions you make about the development of your oil reservoirs.
Who uses Tecplot RS?
Tecplot RS is designed for reservoir simulation engineers who want to save time understanding their simulation results and have more confidence in the decisions they make.
Can I create 3D plots and animations with Tecplot RS?
Yes. Tecplot RS allows you to create high-quality 3D plots and animations. You also can export your plots as graphics or animations.
What is the difference between Tecplot RS and Tecplot 360?
Tecplot RS is designed specifically for reservoir simulation post-processing. It offers the same underlying visualization functionality found in Tecplot 360, but the interface and additional features are designed to handle reservoir simulation data. Tecplot RS also streamlines the creation of plots that are commonly used to understand and analyze reservoir data.
