FRACMOD's innovative technical services model offers simplicity and convenience to our clients when making investment decisions. Through a flexible pricing model, FRACMOD helps operators find the optimal solutions at optimal price points.
Petrophysics is the study of the physical and chemical properties of rocks and their contained fluids. Reservoir storage and deliverability are determined based on lithology, porosity, thickness, fluid saturation, and permeability. Additionally core data is used to calibrate the log derived reservoir parameters to those same parameters measured in the laboratory. When agreement on these parameters is achieved, predictive log based models are established and can be applied at well locations where core data is unavailable.
PETROPHYSICAL SERVICES
- Integration of open-hole logging data with conventional (CCA) and providing special core analysis (SCAL)

- Identify and Rank leads and prospects.
- Produce reservoir-based play fairway maps with common risk segments.
Unconventional Resource Plays
- Build continuous regionally correlated resource plays including CBM and fractured shale plays
- Identify mature organic rich shales by integrating petrophysics and geochemistry
- Calibrate TOC and gas content with core measurements and organic geochemistry; correlate petrophysical logs with gas content
Geomodeling
- Build 3D geocellular reservoir model utilizing structural interpretation from seismic, well tops and mapping.
- Populate model using well data including well tops, well logs and facies models.
- Generate mappable parameters and estimate OOIP and OGIP
Conventional & Special Core Data
- Iterative geological and reserves mapping, including well reviews in conjunction with geomodeling and simulation
- Accurate reserves distribution and optimally placed development and step out wells, workovers and or injectors and flanking exploration wells
Big Data is no longer a buzzword; it's an operational reality. Organizations are rapidly understanding the value that data mining and analytics brings to the table. FRACMOD has created smart solutions to help operators garner more information about their own assets or A&D candidates. From competitor analysis to best practices used in fracking, FRACMOD can provide valuable information to the end user enhancing their competitive advantages through our proprietary Oil Cube.

Hydraulic Fracture Modeling is used to predict the size and nature of the fractures near the wellbore before the fracking operation in the field. It includes selecting the best proppant, injection rate, tonnage, and slurry concentration while considering log interpretation for mechanical properties. Multiple scenarios are then designed that would incorporate the exact geological and geo-mechanical properties where the target well is placed and certain parameters are then used in the simulator to understand initial well production rates and EUR’s with the frac operation. This integrated approach takes the evaluation to the next level of understanding prior to spending significant capital.

Reservoir simulation is used to predict the flow of fluids through porous media. The technology and the data have advanced tremendously over the years resulting in an improved ability to achieve robust and reliable predictions. Simulation can be used to understand well deliverability under primary production, the production results of fracking a well, and the implementation of EOR to ultimately enable operators to spend their capital dollars effectively and appropriately.
