Stop Guessing. Start Frac’ing With Confidence.
One Platform. Full-Scale Fracture-to-Production Optimization.
10x Faster.
CMG’s ShaleSim is built for the new reality of unconventionals: longer laterals, tighter spacing, higher interference risk, and global teams needing faster answers.
ShaleSim Solves What Existing Tools Can’t
Decision-Ready Speed
Simulate complex fracture-to-production scenarios 3-10x faster.
Full-Well, Full-Pad Modelling
Simulate every stage, every well from toe to heel across every pad.
One Integrated Platform
From fracture design to production forecasting - everything in one tool.

Build models quickly – no steep learning curve, no outside help.
ShaleSim is how modern operators frac smarter. From faster answers to better outcomes, we’re redefining what hydraulic fracture simulation can be.
Why Today’s Workflows Fall Short in a Complex World
Unconventional development is more capital-intensive, more geologically variable, and more execution-sensitive than ever. But many teams still rely on:
- Simulating a single frac stage and applying results across the entire lateral
- Disconnected platforms that require jumping between applications for frac, flow, and production analysis
- Limited ability to model complex interactions like parent-child wells or well-to-well interference across a full pad
- Long runtimes that limit scenario testing and slow decision cycles
With ShaleSim Make Every Frac Count
Whether you’re drilling in the Permian, Montney, Duvernay, Vaca Muerta, or the Middle East, ShaleSim helps you:
- Identify optimal well spacing and sequencing to avoid frac hits
- Simulate complex parent-child interactions and mitigate production loss from infill well interference
-
Assess new designs like simul-fracs, trimul-fracs, or
EOR scenarios - Predict fracture behavior and uplift with real field data (e.g. SWPM)
Built on a Proven Foundation
For over 47 years, CMG has been trusted by the world’s top operators to simulate complex reservoirs, forecast performance, and plan EOR programs. Now, we’ve extended that legacy to fracture modelling with a simulator that brings the same accuracy, physics-depth, and performance CMG is known for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not with ShaleSim. It’s a single platform that combines a brand-new fracture simulator with CMG’s industry-trusted reservoir engines (IMEX and GEM), so you can go from frac design to long-term production forecast without switching tools.
Yes. ShaleSim is built for full-well and full-pad modeling. Unlike other tools that simulate a single stage and extrapolate results, ShaleSim captures heterogeneity in pressure, stress, and depletion across every stage and well. And it does this faster than others can simulate just one stage.
Absolutely. ShaleSim lets you simulate parent-child interactions and test infill designs to reduce the risk of frac hits and production degradation. It’s specifically designed to support complex development strategies in maturing fields
No. ShaleSim is built with an intuitive interface and guided workflows so completions, reservoir, and geomechanics engineers can get started quickly with no steep learning curve or consulting dependence.
Yes. ShaleSim is designed to incorporate diagnostic data such as SWPM, so you can calibrate your model with real-world behavior, improve fracture accuracy, and optimize reservoir management.
Not at all. ShaleSim supports unconventional projects globally from the Permian and Montney to Vaca Muerta and Asia Pacific to the Middle East. It’s ideal for any operator focused on optimizing completions and maximizing recovery.
