'''Computer Modelling Group Ltd.''', abbreviated as CMG, is a software company that produces [[reservoir simulation]] programssoftware for the [[oil and gas industry]]. It is based in [[Calgary]], [[Alberta]], [[Canada]] with branch offices in [[Houston]], [[Dubai]], [[CaracasBogota]], and[[Rio de Janeiro]], [[London]] and [[Kuala Lumpur]]. The company is traded on the [[Toronto Stock Exchange]] under the symbol CMG.

The company offers three simulatorsreservoir simulation applications. IMEX, a conventional [[black oil simulator]] used for primary, calledsecondary IMEXand enhanced or improved [[Petroleum extraction|oil recovery]] processes; GEM, aan advanced Equation-of-State (EoS) compositional simulatorand calledunconventional simulator; GEM and STARS a k-value thermal compositionaland advanced processes simulator. calledCMG STARSalso offers CMOST, a reservoir engineering tool that conducts automated history matching, sensitivity analysis and optimization of reservoir models. In addition, CMG has developed CoFlow, which is a unique production engineering software for wellbore and facility analysis and allows for smart coupling with reservoir models.<ref>{{cite web|title=CMG Homepage|url=http://www.cmgroupcmgl.comca/|accessdate=307 MarchApril 20112016}}</ref>

==History==

The company began in 1978 as an effort to develop a simulator by Khalid Aziz of the [[University of Calgary]]'s [[Chemical Engineering]] department, with a research grant from the [[government of Alberta]]. CMG became known for its expertise in heavy oil, and has expanded this knowledge into all aspects of reservoir flow and advanced processes modelling. A commercial product was being soldavailable by the late 1980s. For the first 19 years of the company's history it was a non-profit entity. In 1997, itCMG became a regular public company when it was listed on the TSX. The company now claims over 400570 clients in 4958 countries.<ref>{{cite web|title=CMG|url=http://www.techrevcmgl.ca/techrev/bins/content_page.asp?cidabout-cmg|access-date=1030131 January 2017}}{{Dead link|workdate=CompanyDecember 2024 Review|publisherbot=TechRev.caInternetArchiveBot |accessdatefix-attempted=30yes March 2011}}</ref>

In May 2018, CMG President and CEO Kenneth Dedeluk announced his retirement following the company. Ryan Schneider was appointed to succeed Dedeluk.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/brief-computer-modelling-group-announces-idUSASC0A3H2|title=BRIEF-Computer Modelling Group Announces Retirement Of CEO|date=2018-05-23|work=Reuters|access-date=2020-04-14|language=en}}</ref>
