Optimize production from fractured reservoirs by using GMI•MohrFracs to make smarter decisions.

Our GMI•MohrFracs software leverages fractured reservoir information from other GMI applications, ensuring the best possible selection of drilling trajectories. Specifically, GMI•MohrFracs utilizes stress state information and image analysis data from GMI•SFIB and GMI•Imager, respectively. The workflow is:

1. Constrain complete stress tensor and effective rock strength in-situ with GMI•SFIB
2. Determine fracture and fault orientation and location with GMI•Imager
3. Leverage your available data for smarter decisions with GMI•MohrFracs

Reduce Exploration Risk

Stable faults prevent fluid migration whereas currently active ones allow for reservoir fluid release. GMI•MohrFracs enables definition of fault seal integrity and quantification of hydrocarbon column height, resulting in better decisions and less risk. You can export fault stability results for 3-D display using a variety of third-party structural analysis software packages. With stress state in hand, proximity to failure of basin-bounding faults (imaged seismically) can be calculated anywhere along the fault.

Optimize Well Planning

Identify critically stressed faults and fractures most likely to control fluid flow. Use GMI•MohrFracs to predict the drilling trajectories that optimize reservoir drainage and to identify the subset of fractures and pore pressure regimes that may cause wellbore instability and jeopardize fault seal integrity. Improve hydrofracturing efficiency. Make better well placement choices. Select zones for recompletion. You can even detect red flags such as fractures and faults that may damage efficiency of secondary recovery methods such as water, CO2, and steam flood.

Gain Profitable Insight

Which fractures will probably conduct fluid? Use GMI•MohrFracs' three unique output displays derived from stress magnitude, direction information and wellbore image or dipmeter data:

• Tadpole Plots highlight critically stressed fractures as a function of depth, helping choose target intervals for hydrofracturing completion
• Lower Hemisphere Stereographic Projections let you pick trajectories which intersect the most permeable fractures
• Three-dimensional Mohr Diagrams of shear versus effective normal stress reveal fractures optimally oriented for frictional failure

You can't afford to waste time. Cut short the hunt for permeable fractures by leveraging orientation and stress data with GMI•MohrFracs.
