TUESDAY
Tip of the Week:
Predict frac-hits between parent and child wells using CMG’s advanced geomechanics capabilities.
Model shear fracturing and its impact on tensile fracturing with fluid flow and geomechanics. When shear failure occurs on a grid block, the tensile threshold used in the Barton-Bandis fracture model can be increased to facilitate fracturing. Use this option to predict ‘frac-hits’, as grid blocks experience fracturing (due to tensile failure) much easier than a grid block without shear-failure.

Cloud
- Tackle existing constraints, such as hardware limitations, by submitting run jobs to CMG’s Cloud solution.
- Submit your run jobs to the CMG Cloud to deliver your reservoir simulation projects on time.
Unconventional Reservoirs
- Use the built-in ASP process wizard in Builder to maximize reservoir production.
- Considering an EOR process to model your unconventional reservoirs? CMG has an easy workflow for you.
- Model fracture creation and flowback with the compaction-dilation curve option.
- Use multi-fidelity approaches to model geomechanical effects in hydraulic fractures.
CMOST
- Use CMOST to test different variable changes and reactions, before the run is submitted.
- Use Proxy Analysis to understand parameter-objective function interactions.
Thermal
- Achieve a 6x speed-up for your multipad, multimillion-gridblock model using this workflow.
- Model multiple wellbore configurations with FlexWell to capture and predict fluid behaviour during SAGD recovery.
