FlowFX

FlowFX Near Wellbore Simulator

FlowFX allows operators to model changes to the completion design by adjusting common completion variables. FlowFX presents the expected effects to fluid distribution efficiency, prior to implementing and executing. This service fills the gap between 3D basin modeling and a simplified friction calculation.

• Dynamically models each perforation cluster within a well
• Uses actual mechanical properties at each cluster based on RockMSE and any other calibrations available
• Estimates dynamic changes in breakdown pressure at each cluster
• Accounts for stress shadow within the stage
• Calculates dynamic erosion from proppant flow
• Models both early time-to-rate and steady-state effects
• Allows for varying treatment parameters

FlowFX models the effects of adjusting several completion parameters to fine-tune the completion design.

• Rock heterogeneity
• Number of clusters per stage
• Stage length
• Number of perforations per cluster
• Diameter of perforations
• Cluster placement
• Tapered perforation design
• Pump rates
