ResFrac

ResFrac is the first three-dimensional, fully compositional simulator to seamlessly couple hydraulic fracturing, wellbore, geomechanical, and reservoir simulation.

A single simulation captures the life cycle of an unconventional well or pad: hydraulic fracturing, shut-in, closure, production and any subsequent child fracturing or refracturing.

By coupling processes throughout the life of a well into a single simulation, ResFrac more accurately models well performance and is uniquely capable of modeling parent-child relationships, shale EOR, refracs, and more, all in an integrated platform that provides a collaboration platform across the many technical petroleum disciplines.

Combining these capabilities allows frac designs to be compared directly on the basis of predicted production instead of relying on proxies or laborious handoffs between software. Handoffs from fracture simulators to RTA or reservoir simulators are often “black box” and involve a loss of information and physics. ResFrac avoids these problems by seamlessly simulating fracturing and production together, in a single simulation run.
