FracaFlow
FracaFlow® is the only package available on the market to provide all the necessary tools to assess fractured reservoirs, from secondary porosity assessment to permeability computation. It allows geologists and reservoir engineers to pragmatically understand the impact of fractures and their associated uncertainties. The software is applicable in various contexts: oil and gas, geothermics, or CO2 storage.
FracaFlow® embeds a large set of tools allowing geologists to understand the way a fracture network is affecting a reservoir:
-
geological data analysis tools to reach a quantitative description of the fracture network
-
dynamic data analysis tools to predict & calibrate fracture network properties between wells
Handling from deterministic regional faults to the smallest sub-seismic, diffuse fractures sets, FracaFlow® delivers the most geologically consistent fracture network model, which may be further refined by any seismic or geological attributes.FracaFlow® allows tuning of critical fracture network properties through simulation of KH, flowmeter or even well test signatures that may be calibrated against observed data at well locations. Upon calibration, the fracture network model may be up-scaled using either analytical or numerical methods for dual-medium simulation purposes, generating dual porosity and permeability cubes as well as shape factors.
-
Full workflow within a single work environment, from characterization to modeling and up-scaling
-
Applicable to any type of fractured field (carbonate, clastics, basement) and any context (oil and gas, geothermal, CCS..)
-
Unique fracture network calibration tools with KH matching loop and well test simulation
-
Two fracture equivalent parameters computation methods: analytical for well-connected networks, flow-based for less connected ones
