Elfen tgr

The first commercial ‘all in one’ and advanced application package to answer challenging fracture design problems at multiple scales.

Elfen’s fracture modeling capabilities achieve this within the framework of advanced constitutive laws coupled with fracture initiation, propagation, closure and production algorithms with fluid flow and proppant transport.

Phase II of FracGas JIP starting July 2016 – sponsors still accepted.

• Stress governed fracture propagation
• DFN, fracture hydraulic conductivity
• Fracture closure and production
• Re-fracking, Multiple wells & multi-stage models

Modelling Capabilities

• Multi-mode failure
• Formation stress changes
• Cycle through stimulation → production → re-stimulation
• True 3D fracture propagation with arbitrary non-planar paths
• Proppant placement accounting for gravitational effects
• Multiple wells, multiple clusters
• Fracture propagation accounting for wellbore geometry and stress field
• Hydraulic-natural fracture interaction
• Height growth in layered/laminated rocks
