Maximus - Physics-Based Multiphase Flow Simulator

About Maximus

Maximus is an integrated production modelling (IPM) and flow assurance platform that provides a consistent, physics-based view of the entire production system — from reservoir to facilities — across the full life of field.

It enables engineers and operators to evaluate design options, monitor performance, and optimize production by combining compositional thermo-hydraulic modelling with scenario analysis and data integration.

Maximus supports decision-making across engineering design, field development, and operations by helping users understand system constraints, assess risks, and identify optimal operating strategies within real asset conditions.

From Design to Operations

Maximus supports the full asset lifecycle:

  • Field development planning and concept selection
  • Engineering design and feasibility studies
  • Production optimization and operational decision support
  • Monitoring, surveillance, and risk detection
  • Long-term life-of-field strategy evaluation

This enables a continuous workflow from early design through to day-to-day operations.
