Webinar – The 6X Reservoir Simulator

The 3rd in our series of Webinars was presented by Pete Forster on On Wednesday 25th May 2022. Unlike previous Webinars, that focused on the web interface 6XONLINE, this Webinar concentrated on the more advanced features available by using the underlying simulator 6X. The session was well-attended and gave rise to an interesting Q&A session.

As usual you can access the slides or the video from these links.

Webinar – Introduction to 6XONLINE (Part 2)

On Wednesday 30th March 2022 Pete Forster of Ridgeway Kite presented the second in our series of well-attended Webinars introducing 6XONLINE. 6XONLINE is a web interface to the 6X simulator, allowing users to create simple models of hydraulic fracturing scenarios within minutes. These can then be submitted to run on local hardware, or on servers on the cloud.

If you missed it you can still access the slides or the video from these links.
