This online course provides a hands-on intensive overview of NSI Technologies’ StimPlan™ fracture design/analysis software with detailed examples and data files provided to participants. This course covers the essential elements of using StimPlan™ effectively including loading logs, defining geologic layering for simulations, input of fluid and proppant data, as well as performing a gridded 3-D simulation. Topics include log analysis for modulus and stress,...
The online course is presented in a “workshop” fashion. After a brief review of fracturing pressure analysis background, basic closure pressure analysis techniques, etc., we also discuss “non-ideal” cases. These are then reviewed by working through actual case history data. This includes natural fracture (pressure dependent) loss, horizontal well DFIT, After-Closure-Analysis (ACA) type curves for detecting stress sensitive permeability, etc. Time...
