- Java3D 1.5.2
studioSL 6.1 (released Nov 2008)
studioSL 6.1 (based on NetBeans6.1) has been released in November 2008 and has many improvements over 5.0. New features included in 6.0 are:
- New 2D Line Plot Interface. All field-level and well-level production plots now have a new interface to control the selection of data to plot. A refresh action is also included
- Deck Builder.Go from raw production data to a simplified 3DSL input deck to easily run a surveillance type model on your production history. Once you have a surveillance model running, you can adapt your input file for more general simulation cases. R-click on a file folder and select New -> 3DSL Deck Builder, or File -> New Project -> Create New 3DSL Input File Folder.
- History Match Error Plot.Any simulation run with 3DSL 2.3x or greater will create a history match error file. You can now plot the results of this file in studioSL to highlight good vs poor well matches. R-click on an existing .dat node and select "HM Error Plot".
- 3DSL Keyword Recognition.Open a 3DSL input file and studioSL will automatically check for syntax errors, color code keywords.
- 3D Viewer enhancements.Continued improvements in loading data and the user interface.
- License Manager. studioSL now requires a separate license to run. However, each customer is entitled to the same number of studioSL seats as 3DSL incompressible seats. Contact support@streamsim.com once you have installed studioSL 6x and would like a license. To smooth your transition from 5x to 6x, we will continue to leave 5x available to download and use until June 30, 2009, however 5x will no longer be supported.
studioSL 5.0
studioSL 5.0 has many improvements over 4.0 and it is becoming a sophisticated platform for reservoir engineering workflows. To get up and running quickly, here are some flash demos that you might find useful. New features included in 5.0 are:
- Support for 3DSL v3.00 (Windows 64bit and Linux 64bit) and new RLM license manager. To find out more about RLM, visit RLM's website.
- Support for 3DSL license roaming. Roaming allows you to check-out a license from the network onto your laptop and then work offline. Once done, you can check the license back in by connecting to the network again.
- New history matching GUI. Interested in our streamline-based, geological consistent joint industry project? Find out more here.
- We are moving to an online help that will allow users to contribute to, in this way harnessing the collective knowledge of all our users.
- 3D viewing has been significanlty enhanced
- 3D flux pattern maps.
- Saturations are now visible along streamlines in 3D.
- Improved responsiveness and usability for a better user experience.
- Flip of X, Y, Z axes.
- Well selection list.
- Load a directory with 3DSL simulations as a project. Here is how to do it.
System Requirements
studioSL works with any platform that supports the Java Platform Standard Edition (JDK or JRE) version 1.5.0 or later. We recommend using the most recent Java version available for your platform. studioSL is a modular environment composed by different "plugins" available for download and installation from its Tools/Plugins menu. If you install modules offering 3D functionality such as View3D, you need to have Java 3D 1.5.1 or later installed.
studioSL 4.0 Overview
studioSL is Streamsim's Java-based GUI. studioSL allows to edit 3DSL input files, run 3DSL, and post-process 3DSL output files. For access to studioSL and installation instructions go to our downloads main page.
With studioSL4.0 it is possible to perform waterflood management using floodOPT and perform streamline-based assisted history matching. Additionally, 3D visualization capabilities have been added. The 3D visualization module allows engineers and geoscientist to easily interpret 3DSL's simulation results and validate input data.
studioSL is developed in Java based on NetBeans technology, an open source project providing two products: NetBeans IDE and NetBeans platform. NetBeans IDE is an Interactive Development Environment for writing code in Java. NetBeans platform is a set of API's and code that you can use to develop modules or full applications like studioSL. For module developers that would like to enhance studioSL's functionality, studioSL's modules can be installed into the NetBeans IDE and used from there. Any module written on top of the NetBeans platform will work in studioSL, and any module present in the NetBeans IDE can be installed in studioSL. If you are interested in knowing more about modules and how these can be included into studioSL, please see the Netbeans web site or contact us.

studioSL4.0 introduces the concept of projects. There is a simulation project (a collection of 3DSL runs), a floodOPT project, and history matching project. A project is simply a convenient way to look at files (output & input), manipulate parameters, and execute workflows. We are constantly trying to make things as simple and intutive as possible, and believe that the project-view is a good way to organize files and workflows that pertain to a particuar task.
- A simulation project organizes 3DSL simulations into easily identifiable nodes, and each node has clearly defined nodes pertaining to particular type of output.
- Within a simulation project it is possible:
- Edit 3DSL input files and run 3DSL.
- Run multiple 3DSL input files in batch mode.
- View 3DSL output files and compare runs.
- Look at streamlines in 3D as well grid properties and well locations.
- Look at the flux pattern map and well allocation data.
- Within a floodOPT project it is possible:
- Set parameters to actively manage a waterflood.
- Run floodOPT to generate new target rates.
- Automatically generate a 3DSL input file to run 3DSL in forecast mode.
- Try different management strategies my modifying the weighting function for determining new rates.
- Within a history matching project it is possible:
- Set-up a worklfow to use the LVM (local varying mean) or PPM (probability perturbation method) to modify permeability/porosity fields.
- Run 3DSL in a semi-automatic way to perform multiple history matching loops.
- Quantify and assess the mismatch between historical and simulated production.
