In this conversation, Joe Batir discusses numerical simulation with Pouria Mousavi, Regional Solution Engineer for the US at CMG. Using the analogy of flight simulators, Pouria explains how complex subsurface physics can be simplified into computable equations, and how different conditions can be tested to examine the subsurface for different uses like geothermal, CCUS, and oil and gas extraction. The conversation emphasizes the importance of this simplification in understanding and predicting subsurface behavior.

Pouria’s book recommendation:
