ECLIPSE is an oil and gas reservoir simulator originally developed by ECL (Exploration Consultants Limited) and currently owned, developed, marketed and maintained by SIS (formerly known as GeoQuest), a division of Schlumberger. The name ECLIPSE originally was an acronym for "ECL´s Implicit Program for Simulation Engineering". Ian Cheshire was amongst the engineers which developed the program.

ECLIPSE uses the finite volume method[1] to solve material and energy balance equations modelling a subsurface petroleum reservoir. Versions include:

  • ECLIPSE 100 solves the black oil equations (a fluid model) on corner-point grids.
  • ECLIPSE 300 solves the reservoir flow equations for compositional hydrocarbon descriptions and thermal simulation
  • Intersect, a next generation reservoir simulator developed in partnership with Chevron.
