As many of you know, we had a major ResFracPro update that went out on November 4th for both the simulator and user interface.  Highlights include: (a) the advanced ‘proppant transport from the well’ capabilities developed by Egor Dontsov for StageOpt have now been implemented in the ResFracPro simulator, (b) ‘libraries’ that allow you to save/load components of simulations (such as defined proppants, fluid models, etc.); this includes a pre-saved database of proppant and fluid types, (c) the ability to import fluid models from the Eclipse format and the Whitson format, (d) new wizards for: well shift, mesh refinement, and proppant immobilization, (e) the ability to prespecify line plot data for history matching, (f) gun barrel plots showing proppant placement, fracturing, and fluid leakoff, (g) the ability to set the default VM size for running simulations on the server, and (h) many minor new options, bug fixes, and improvements.

For ResFrac’s November Office Hours, we had a presentation from Mark McClure where he ran through some of the new features in ResFracPro.
