6X: Next-GenReservoir Simulation

Simulate multi-well pads and many fracture stages through completion, interference, and depletion in one lifecycle model.

Capture mixed tensile and shear failure, fracture branching, and complexity by evolving both modes within coupled geomechanics and flow—not tensile-only simplifications.

Resolve stress shadowing across wells and stages by coupling geomechanics with the full stress tensor, not mean stress alone.

Evaluate re-fracture and infill programs to improve drainage and mitigate asymmetric fracture growth.

Represent naturally fractured and multi-scale pore systems in unconventional rocks with dual- or N-porosity formulations that resolve matrix–fracture transfer and fluid exchange.

Extend unconventional models into gas-based EOR such as huff-and-puff to forecast incremental recovery.

Apply stress-dependent permeability, net-stress tables, and hysteresis as fractures open, propped, and close.

Track proppant and gel/breaker tracers to capture viscosity, placement, and conductivity in hydraulic fractures.

Build foam models with dynamic scripting and surfactant tracers to limit gas mobility in fractures and improve conformance.

Simulate full huff-and-puff cycles to tune soak times, rates, and gas composition for incremental oil.

Tie unconventional wells and fractures to surface gathering and facilities so forecasts honor routing, pressures, and operational constraints across the system.

Drive uncertainty quantification and development choices with integrated multiple-realization workflows, experimental design, and side-by-side deterministic cases.

Automate pad- and field-scale unconventional studies with scripting scenarios, custom physics hooks, QC, and repeatable reporting.
