Reservoir-scale, multi-well, multi-stage field stimulation by multiple fracture propagation with application to both petroleum and Engineered Geothermal System (EGS) operations.XSite has a user interface designed to simplify model creation, execution, and post-processing. Export results in many formats, including formats that can be read by reservoir simulators.Models can be run interactively and in batch mode.Model state can be saved at any stage and restarted later.Easy post-processing with many plot types.Easy definition of injection rates and schedules.Easy definition of multiple wellbores, stages, and clusters, including importing geometry from DXF files.Easy definition of geology (layers and structures), including importing geological geometries from DXF files.Extendable library of rock and fluid types no numerical calibration necessary.The user interface is easy to use, with no commands or scripting needed.Synthetic microseismicity can be tracked and recorded. The borehole flow is coupled with the rest of the model to determine distribution of fluid between multiple clusters. General pumping schedules can be simulated with switching injected Newtonian or power-law fluids. Proppant affects fracture closure and fracture conductivity. Proppant transport and placement logic is included.
Fluid flow is simulated as fracture flow within the joint networks and as matrix flow within the intact rock. The models conduct fully coupled hydro-mechanical simulations. XSiteresolves general hydraulic fracture interaction, including propagation in naturally fractured reservoirs with deterministically or stochastically generated discrete fracture networks (DFNs). XSiteis capable of modeling multiple wellbores with multiple stages and clusters, including open-hole completions and perforation tunnels. XSiteis a powerful three-dimensional hydraulic fracturing numerical simulation program based on the Synthetic Rock Mass (SRM) and Lattice methods.
