FrackOptima NonPlanar3D is used to simulate the hydraulic fracture process that involves multiple stages and multiple fractures in unconventional reservoirs with parallel layer formations. Other features of NonPlanar3D simulator include:

Heterogeneity of stress, toughness, pore pressure, leakoff, and spurtloss

Heterogeneity of Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio will be available in the near future

Linear elastic fracture

Power law fluid flow

Multistage slurry injections with multiple fluids and proppants

Proppant concentration dependent slurry rheology

Pressure dependent fluid leakoff

Conserved proppant transport and settlement

Crack tip mechanism covering viscosity and toughness controlled fracture growth as well as fluid lag

Wellbore mechanics for fluid distributions along specified injection points

Seamless screen-out simulation

Shut-in simulation all the way to the final fully proppant-packed fracture

Fracture intersection has not been completely implemented yet

Simultaneous visualization and analysis of simulating results
