Multistage Completion and Hydraulic Fracture Design Software
Mangrove is a one of a kind software on the market, using an integrated, reservoir centric workflow to enable seismic-to-simulation, journey-to-design, optimal completion and stimulation scenario for superior production performance in unconventional reservoirs. Developed on the Petrel platform, Mangrove leverages the seismic, geological, geomechanical, microseismic, and reservoir simulation capabilities offered by native Petrel and Petrel plugins. It offers separate, optimal completion design tools for tight sand and shale. Mangrove brings two brand new unconventional fracture simulators along with the conventional planar fracture.
Zoning
The zoning process provides a wide range of options to accurately capture reservoir characterization and structural input. This leads to enhanced completion design, and subsequent hydraulic fracture predicting capabilities. This process provides flexibility to capitalize on the existing data through four primary options. One option uses a 3D model, with detailed rock heterogeneity description along with surface tagging, to create zones. The second option uses well logs for target well to determine zones. The third option allows offset wells, or pilot holes, to define zones. The last option lets users manually enter zones.
Completion advisor
This engineered process uses reservoir characterization as the basis to provide best possible completion design. This semi-automated process primarily offers two reservoir and well type specific workflows: one for the vertical wells in tight sands, and the other for the horizontal wells in shale. The field validated workflow for tight sands vertical wells uses pay zones and stress barriers to create the right combination for the specific completion needs. While the newly designed shale horizontal well workflow uses reservoir quality and completion quality to design staging, and subsequently to pinpoint perforation clusters. Completion advisor also provides limited entry option applicable when intervals with varying in-situ stress are stimulated together to ensure effective stimulation. This process allows similar flexibility as in zoning process to maximize the usage of available data.
Hydraulic fracture simulation
Mangrove introduces two new numerical models, unconventional fracture model (UFM) and wiremesh, specifically developed for simulating non-planar complex hydraulic fractures in shale reservoirs. At the same time, it offers all the conventional models including the multi-layer fracture model for tight sands. Additionally, microseismic data is used to calibrate the hydraulic fracture simulation results.
