Hydraulic Fracture CAE tool.

The SP3D software is a simulation tool developed for Petrobras. The application goal is to provide CAE support on Hydraulic Fractures design and analysis tasks. Therefore, it provides tailored UIs design for each support operation related to Hydraulic Fracking. For instance, Mini-frack, Pressure test, Step-rate test as well as Fracture Design.

Regarding Fracture behavior, the numerical kernel is based on a pseudo-3D fracture geometry model. Further on, an optimal computational architecture covers different fluid loss models, resulting in realistic volumetric efficiency values in regards to low permeability reservoirs.

The application imports operation logs (flow rate and pressure over time). Regarding usability, the tool is equipped with an easy-to-use UI, providing engineers a seamless tool for dealing with Hydraulic Fracturing studies.

The application support also Acid Fracking.
