EnABLE software

ENABLE is a history matching and uncertainty assessment software designed to be used in the oil and gas industry. It optimizes plans and reduces costs by accelerating history matching process and improving reservoir understanding. ENABLE is also used to quantify production estimates under reservoir uncertainty. As oil and gas resources are increasingly recovered from reservoirs whose behavior has considerable uncertainty the need to measure the uncertainty is increasing[1] .[2] Existing reservoir simulation projects accelerate significantly and ENABLE provides assisted history matching and uncertainty forecasts.

History

ENABLE was developed by Energy Scitech Limited, a UK-based independent consultancy and software development company founded in 1999. Energy Scitech was acquired by Roxar ASA in 2006.
