For tight and shale reservoirs, GEOS offers integrated hydraulic fracture propagation modeling coupled with reservoir flow simulation.

Hydraulic fracture staging simulation for unconventional reservoir development.

Key Capabilities

  • Hydraulic fracture network generation and propagation
  • Proppant transport modeling
  • Stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) characterization
  • Production forecasting from fractured reservoirs
  • Parent-child well interference analysis

Fracture Modeling

The embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) and phase-field fracture capabilities allow for detailed analysis of fracture-matrix interactions during stimulation and production. GEOS can model complex fracture geometries including natural fracture reactivation, fracture branching, and multi-stage completions.

Integrated Stimulation-to-Production Workflows

GEOS enables seamless workflows from hydraulic fracture design through long-term production forecasting, capturing the geomechanical stress evolution that governs fracture conductivity and well performance over time.
