What's new in version 3

Below is a list of all the improvements and bug fixes made in this release.  If you have any questions, please contact us.

  • Advanced perforation effects: The details of the casing perforation and the tunnel can now be modelled with the non-Darcy effects
    • Models perforation and casing
    • Models Open hole gravel pack
  • The program now models drop out of retrograde condensate
  • Table improvements
    • Tool tips and 3 line headers
  • Gridding improvements
    • Growth of gridding to edge
    • Square gridding option
  • Plot slice.
  • Small length quantity (e.g. fracture width can be in inches or millimetres).
  • Retrograde condensate sat table default parameters
  • Surplus region numbers are removed when you delete a fracture
  • Wiggly well improvements
    • Wiggly wells work for varying azimuth.
    • Aligns fractures with perforations.

Improvements

  • 2D window improvements
    • Double buffering - repeated re-draws are no longer apparent.
    • Scrollbars in 2D window.
    • Appropriate cursors.
    • Dragged image.
    • Drawing suspended less frequently. Debug18 monitors re-drawing
    • Optional frame. Entire window can be used for drawing.
  • Console window improvements:
    • Console window can stop program now.
    • To-front button for main window.
  • Modifications for 2003.10 release of IMEX.
  • Check that BHP < reservoir pressure.
  • Retrograde condensate handling.
  • Excel button in fractures and perforations (+advanced).
  • Include the last few file names under the (File) button.
  • Multiple files in Batch facility from Browser.
  • Fracture flow fraction plotted.
  • Check restart that the fluid model has not changed.
  • Reinterpret spiky results by differentiating the cumulative.

 

Bug fixes

  • Picking position discrepancy fixed.
  • Well block put equal to corrected perforation permeability
  • Zero all D-Factors works if you have defined a perforation D-Factor
  • Fix block redraw on digitizing boundary.
  • Deleting all fractures now resets the grid parameters
  • Trend table corrects illegal bottoms
  • Verticalization problems corrected
  • Scroll button on batch file list works
  • Fracture flow results reports flow from all fracture blocks not just the root block
  • Omissions in PVT import (TRES etc) now diagnosed compulsory to fix and Calc / Set PVT works with blank optional boxes
  • Well bore input is multi-line for flow property ranges
  • Assigned D-Factors work OK with beta
  • Small grid at end of perforation near edge bug corrected
  • Delete surplus tables when you delete a fracture
  • Frac region sat table deleted on deleting the last fracture
  • Click on header in table cancels editing.
  • Left-wing/right-wing confusion for inline fractures cleared up.
