Stress Shadowing Technology Bulletin
Ridgeway Kite has published a new Technology Bulletin on Stress Shadowing showing how the stress field generated by hydraulic fracturing of one stage can affect the extent of subsequent stages. The modelling of this phenomenon is possible due to the coupled stress and fluid flow simulation in 6X.
Infill Wells Technology Bulletin
Ridgeway Kite has recently published a new Technology Bulletin on Infill Wells. This shows how to manage spacing and scheduling of infill wells while limiting fracture-driven interactions.

Global Major licenses 6X
To help model their unconventional reservoirs, another global major energy company has licensed multiple copies of 6X in North America.
“This is the second major international energy company to have licensed 6X in the last couple of months. It is a clear indication of the acceptance of 6X in providing a unique solution for clients to model the added complexities of unconventional reservoirs, improve production and reduce costs” commented Tommy Miller, RKS CEO.

Pamir Cirdi joins Ridgeway Kite
Pamir Cirdi joins Ridgeway Kite as a Technical Support Engineer based in our Houston office. Pamir is currently working on her PhD thesis at Texas A&M University, TX, USA. She has previously worked for Landmark Software Services, Halliburton.
Total S.A. licenses Ridgeway Kite 6X reservoir simulator.
Total S.A. has installed several copies of 6X on a massive HPC cluster farm at their Technical Center in Pau, France. This will enable Total to take full advantage of the highly scaleable nature of the software applying it to both conventional and unconventional reservoirs.
“We are extremely excited to add Total S.A. as a client with their vast portfolio of global assets. We look forward to working closely with Total’s engineers to support them in applying the 6X reservoir simulator to address some of their more challenging assets” commented Tommy Miller, CEO Ridgeway Kite Software Ltd.
2019 SPE ATCE – Booth 1333
Calgary, 30th September – 2nd October 2019
Come by and see how we can help you create sensible child well production forecasts, and make sense of their production history. Find a better way to manage your unconventional reservoirs.
Denver Users workshop
Great workshop with a cross section of 6X users in Denver in July. Getting their valuable feedback, insight and priorities on what they need us to be working on in the software to help meet the demands of their projects. Giving our senior developers first hand feedback ensures no dilution of the message.
