Abstract

A system, method and program product for managing hydrocarbon energy production. A hydrocarbon field modeler models physical characteristics of a hydrocarbon energy field. A load predictor predicts processing workload in modeling the hydrocarbon energy field, and identifying a balanced modeling unit distribution across multiple processors simulating field production. A load distribution unit distributes the modeling units across the processors for a balanced modeling unit distribution. The load predictor and load distribution unit proactively shifts loads to maintain workload balanced throughout the simulation.
