OilSim training sessions can be based on both offshore and onshore scenarios, and this has now been expanded with ultra-deep offshore scenarios in OilSim.

The inaugural ultra-deep OilSim session was at the LukOil PetroChallenge University of Houston in August 2011.

Having this new option in OilSim is really important, because more and more oil and gas exploration, development, and production is taking place in very deep waters in for example West Africa, Brazil, and the Gulf of Mexico.

The first ultra-deep offshore scenario in OilSim covers the waters off Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana, but it is possible to use any area of the world - and even totally fictitious areas. All that is needed to use new geographical areas in OilSim is to design and import the map and corresponding data sets.

In OilSim you can use real data and fictitious data. If you are looking to run a session in new or under-explored basins, OilSim can create the geology based on current limited knowledge.
