Method One:

Pre-drilling fracture design and parameter optimization

Predicts fracture half-length prior to drilling using pressure-dependent geomechanical properties, delivering unmatched accuracy in fracture geometry prediction.

  • Fracture design and parameter optimization
  • Pressure-dependent geomechanical modeling
  • High-accuracy fracture half-length prediction

Method Two:

Post-drilling history matching using fracturing treatment data

Estimates fracture half-length on a per-stage basis using fracture job reports. This is a first-of-its-kind capability; no other existing method provides post-job fracture half-length estimation at the stage level.

  • History matching using fracture treatment reports
  • Stage-level fracture half-length estimation
  • First-of-its-kind capability; no existing alternatives

Method Three:

Post-drilling fracture half-length estimation from flowback data

Derives fracture half-length by volume balancing flow back volumes using elastic compliances and completion parameters.

  • Independent validation of fracture effectiveness

Method Four:

Post-drilling fracture half-length estimation from early production data

Derives fracture half-length directly from early-time production behavior, providing an independent validation of fracture effectiveness.
