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.

Geofirma has decades of experience developing and applying numerical models. 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.
