Computer modelling

Computer modelling, also known as numerical modelling, is a valuable tool for predicting the performance of subsurface systems.

At Geofirma, we apply numeric models to simulate: groundwater flow, contaminant transport, two-phase (gas & water) flow and transport, and geomechanical effects of subsurface operations. Computer modelling is often the only means of quantifying subsurface processes in the environmental, mining, nuclear waste, carbon-sequestration, energy storage, geothermal and midstream oil and gas sectors.

Modelling is a Geofirma core competency — approximately 40% of our senior technical staff work primarily on modelling projects and related services. We use state-of-the-art models like HydroGeoSphere (HGS), TOUGH3, MODFLOW, and FLAC3D. Additionally, we perform custom software development to extend model capabilities and to develop in-house tools supporting our modelling processes.
