Elfen fm

The forward modelling capabilities of ELFEN provide accurate simulations and representation of geological evolution. This enables a full understanding of your field’s stress, material, deformation and trap history throughout geological time.

From basin to field to wellbore scale, the output from the models can unlock the essential aspects of a prospect:

• Reduce drilling hazards and production surprises
• Clarify poor seismic resolution and identify sub-seismic structure
• Make informed decisions over the entire lifespan of an asset; from exploration and drilling, to production, and finally abandonment

Modelling Capabilities

• Large strain deformation
• Advanced constitutive material models – brittle/ductile transition, localisations, creep, visco-plastic, diagenesis
• 2D and 3D complex loading scenarios – deposition/erosion, basal movement, extension/contraction, transpressive, etc
• Mechanical – Thermal – Seepage coupling
• Basin to field to wellbore scale sub-modelling
• Isostasy including thermal flux through continental-oceanic crusts
