GOHFER v9.6, developed by Halliburton, is the latest version of the Grid Oriented Hydraulic Fracture Extension Replicator, a leading planar 3D geometry fracture simulator with fully coupled fluid/solid transport for hydraulic fracture modeling and well stimulation design. Below is a detailed overview based on available information:
Key Features of GOHFER v9.6
- Automatic Stage Shadowing:
- Allows users to graphically set the order of fracture stage pumping across multiple wellbores, streamlining planning for complex multi-well operations.
- Performance Enhancements:
- Includes parallel processing for grid setup and improved 3D display rendering, enabling faster computations and more responsive visualizations, especially for large-scale simulations.
- Advanced Grid Modeling:
- Utilizes a regular grid structure to model the entire reservoir, accommodating vertical and lateral variations, multiple perforated intervals, and complex fracture geometries. It supports detailed modeling of fluid composition, proppant concentration, shear, leak-off, and other parameters at each grid block.
- Multi-Disciplinary Integration:
- Incorporates data from petrophysics, geology, geophysics, drilling, reservoir, and completions to create coherent 3D reservoir and geomechanical models for both conventional and unconventional reservoirs.
- 3D Stress Shadow Cloud and Graphics:
- Features a new 3D graphics package and cloud licensing for enhanced visualization and accessibility.
- Comprehensive Simulation Capabilities:
- Supports multi-well modeling (vertical and horizontal), fracture stress shadow interference, zipper fracs, offset depletion effects, and production optimization for spacing and fracture length.
- Includes pressure diagnostics, production forecasting, rate transient analysis, and DAS/DTS integration.
