Production evaluation coupled to numerical simulators
Mangrove is integrated with state of the art reservoir simulators that enable full numerical reservoir simulations, production history match analysis and a finite element geomechanics modeling. Unstructured and structured simulation grids can be created by explicitly gridding the complex or planar fracture networks. Microseismic measurements can also be utilized in the calibration of the complex fracture networks.
Plug-in Overview
Kinetix Shale reservoir-centric stimulation-to-production software is the only hydraulic fracturing design software that employs a seamless, comprehensive seismic-to-simulation workflow for the multilevel optimization of unconventional or conventional reservoirs. This member of the Kinetix simulation software suite integrates geophysics, geology, petrophysics, completion engineering, reservoir engineering, and geomechanics in a repeatable workflow that ensures data integrity and high decision quality. With these multiple capabilities, users of this Petrel E&P platform plug-in can maximize production performance and ROI in any reservoir, from conventional to unconventional tight sands and shale.
Specifications
Multiple models with explicit reservoir gridding for hydraulic fracture simulation Kinetics Shale software accesses multiple models for the best fit between the science and the reservoir.
High-resolution simulation grids (structured or unstructured) are automatically generated by explicitly gridding complex fracture networks while capturing the fracture dimensions and conductivities and also tracking the propped and unpropped regions in the networks. The high resolution is paired with new computational efficiency: Resources permitting, multiple simulations can be spawned for the UFM and Planar3D models in batch mode, on a local machine or in the cloud.
