KBC 推出了 Maximus 7.6，这是一个用于上游油气作业的建模和流量保障平台。该平台专为生产和流量保障工程师设计，旨在弥合早期现场规划与实际作业之间的差距，使操作员能够模拟整个生产系统，同时集成实时现场数据来监控性能、验证设计假设并优化作业。

《加工杂志》援引金伯利岩的一项研究报告称，海上设施每年平均有27天的计划外停机时间，每个站点的损失高达3800万美元。借助内置的流动保障模型和“假设”情景，工程师可以模拟固体颗粒形成、腐蚀和流动不稳定等问题，从而指导运营决策。

其功能包括：油井性能，可根据实际油井性能验证设计和操作条件，并将操作条件与最佳设计和操作进行比较；流量调节，可自动调整相关参数以匹配现场数据，从而准确预测流量和压力，最大限度地降低流量保证风险；以及 Caltec 海底喷射泵，可对用于提高低压井产量并减少碳排放的喷射泵系统进行高级建模、设计和仿真。

KBC launched Maximus 7.6, a modeling and flow assurance platform for upstream oil and gas operations. Designed for production and flow assurance engineers, it bridges the gap between early field planning and real-world operations and enables operators to simulate the entire production system while integrating live field data to monitor performance, validate design assumptions and optimize operations.

A Kimberlite study cited by Processing Magazine reports that offshore facilities average 27 days of unplanned downtime annually, which cost up to $38 million per site. With built-in flow assurance modeling and running “what-if” scenarios, engineers can simulate issues such as solids formation, corrosion and flow instability to guide operational decisions.

Features include Well Performance, which validates design and operating conditions against actual well performance, comparing operating conditions with optimal design and operations; Flow Tuning, which automatically adjusts correlation parameters to match field data for accurate flow rate and pressure prediction to minimize flow assurance risks; and Caltec Subsea Jet Pump, which allows advanced modeling, design and simulation of jet pump systems used to boost production in low-pressure wells while reducing carbon emissions.
