Marlim3 is a 1D multiphase flow simulator developed by Petrobras.
Core capabilities (steady-state and transient)
- Production wells
- Injection wells: Water or gas injection wells, both single-phase and multiphase
- Networks
- Production networks
- Injection networks
- Gas lift loops
- Artificial Lift models: gas lift valves, pumps
Advanced modeling
- Natural convection: 2D solutions for natural convection analysis in confined spaces (single-phase or two-phase), such as pipeline cross-sections during production shutdowns
- Compositional fluid model library
- Near wellbore model: radial and 2D models to consider phenomena such as water coning
- Thermal diffusion: 2D and 3D coupled to the 1D flow model
Project status
Marlim3 is undergoing a major architectural refactoring. While that work is in progress:
- Not every mapped bug in the current version will be fixed. Some defects live in code that the refactoring will replace, and fixing them twice is not a good use of anyone's time.
- The current focus is verification. We are consolidating reference cases for the regression suite and validation cases for limiting conditions, so that the refactored engine can be checked against known-correct behaviour rather than against itself.
- Issues where external collaboration is welcome are labelled
help wanted. Those are scoped so they do not collide with the refactoring.
Bug reports remain valuable even when a fix is deferred — they inform what the new architecture has to get right, and they are candidates for the reference suite. Please keep them coming.
Broader contributions will be accepted once the refactoring settles. See CONTRIBUTING.md for what is being accepted in the meantime.
