/ Hydraulic & Acid Fracturing

Hydraulic fracturing simulation software for treatment design and post-job evaluation.

Plan, simulate and benchmark hydraulic and acid fracture treatments with proppant transport, leak-off physics and global fracturing analogue intelligence.

/ The problem

Frac designs that look good on screen don't always deliver in the rock.

Misjudged stress profiles, leak-off and proppant behavior cause screenouts, short fractures and disappointing production response — at six- and seven-figure cost per job.

  • 01Screenouts mid-job destroying treatment economics
  • 02Fracture geometry not matching post-job diagnostics
  • 03Proppant placement underpredicted vs. actual
  • 04Acid fracturing conductivity overestimated
  • 05Designs reused across fields without recalibration
/ The solution

Engineering-grade fracture simulation backed by global analogues.

KEMISIM Hydraulic Fracturing Software combines geomechanics-aware fracture growth, proppant transport and leak-off physics with an analogue database of frac jobs from operators across the Middle East, Asia and Africa.

/ Questions engineers ask

Frequently asked questions.

+Does it support acid fracturing as well as proppant fracturing?

Yes. Both workflows share the same geomechanics and fluid-physics core.

+Can it match observed pressure data?

Yes. Post-job calibration is a built-in step and feeds back into future designs.

+How are multi-stage treatments handled?

Stages can be designed, ranked and sequenced with shared fluid and proppant inventories.
