  • Patent number: 11225855
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for modeling and simulating reservoir, wellbore, and hydraulic fracturing. The systems and methods provided herein may facilitate well life cycle simulation by integrating a three-dimensional model representative of hydraulic fracturing and fluid flow in a wellbore and reservoir. The systems and methods may couple fluid flow in the wellbore and reservoir during injection and extraction with propagation of fractures through subsurface materials during fluid injection. Integrated three-dimensional reservoir, wellbore, and hydraulic fracture simulation may be useful for the design of hydraulic fracture treatments and prediction of future reservoir production.

  • Patent number: 11220889
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for hydraulic fracturing in earth. Systems may comprise a first well comprising sensors configured to collect sensor data at the first well. The calibration data may comprise sensor data, hydraulic fracture treatment conditions of the first well, geological data from an area containing the first well, or production date of oil or gas from the first well. The calibration data may be analyzed with the aid of one or more processors to generate an integrated 3-D model of hydraulic fracturing and fluid flow in the wellbore and reservoir of the first well. The system may further comprise a second well configured to operate according to simulation data generated from the integrated 3-D model of the first well and hydraulic fracture treatment conditions received from a user device. The user device may be configured to communicate with a server comprising the one or more processors.
