More about the apps

StageOpt

Maximize uniformity of fluid and proppant outflow from the wellbore during each stage.

IntTest

Analyze interference tests to estimate fracture conductivity and the degree of production interference.

FracTest

Use modern best-practices to interpret Diagnostic Fracture Injection Tests to estimate stress, permeability, and pore pressure.

QEP used ResFrac to help evolve their designs towards higher cluster density and longer stage length, leading to increased production and lowered cost.
“We tested 60+ different variations on fluid and proppant loadings, cluster and stage spacing, and well counts and landing zone configurations … and produced an economically optimized recommendation.” Engineer, Permian Basin

Applications

ResApps are a suite of tools designed to facilitate key engineering and geoscience workflows.

Yes, you can! ResApps are licensed separately from the ResFrac simulator.

No, the apps are entirely web-based.

Submitted data are stored in an encrypted database hosted on Microsoft Azure. Data are keyed by user, so users are only able to access their own data. All data transmissions are handled using industry-standard encrypted protocols. 

Licenses are annual subscriptions for individual-users. For more information on ResApps site login and app signup, see the tutorial here.

Horizontal fracture initiated along weak bedding plane or frictional interface in ResFrac

Horizontal hydraulic fractures in ResFrac

Horizontal hydraulic fracture propagation is believed to be widespread in shale plays where the frac gradient approaches the overburden – such as the Vaca Muerta, Utica, and Montney. However, horizontal propagation is nearly always ignored in hydraulic fracture modeling. In ResFrac, we are obsessed with ‘getting the physics right’, and so naturally, we extended our simulator to handle horizontal fracturing. The first version of this new capability was released earlier this year. We are eager to start collecting feedback from users, which will help us to fine tune the algorithm and workflow.

Digesting the Bonkers, Incredible, Off-the-Charts, Spectacular Results from the Fervo and FORGE Enhanced Geothermal Projects

I’m out of superlatives – I used them all up in the title. But seriously – Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) projects have had a really, really good summer. In this article, I summarize the results that have been recently presented by Fervo and FORGE. At their annual Tech Day and in a white paper posted this week (Norbeck et al., 2024), Fervo Energy provided their first update on Project Cape, a Utah project where they are developing 400 MWe of new production over the next two years. So far, fourteen wells have been drilled, and three of them have been stimulated.
