Computes pore pressure, stresses, geomechanical logs and natural fracture proxies from wireline logs. Interactive TOC estimation and petrophysics to compute shale content, porosity and water saturation. Multivariate regression and Artificial Intelligence tools to estimate missing logs.
Features:
LogPredictor™ displays, for Quality Control (QC) and interpretation, log data in a user-friendly log window. The module uses different methods to predict along the wellbore properties such as TOC, Geomechanical logs, Brittleness, Pore Pressure, stresses and fracture density from conventional logs.
- Well correlations: Displays, picks and edits well tops
- Facies classification: Generates rock types using K-means classification or a self-organizing method
- Log prediction: Generates new synthetic logs from existing data using powerful neural networks or linear multi-regression analysis when physical data is unavailable
- Generates blocked logs from a 3D grid using different available methods for continuous or discrete logs
- Vertical variogram modeling using blocked or original logs, with or without facies constraint
- Pore pressure and stress profile calculations along wellbores and in 3D volumes derived from wireline logs
- Estimation of natural fracture proxies derived from conventional logs
- Petrophysics and Interactive estimation of TOC, volume of shale, porosity, and water saturation

Who We Are & What We Offer
FracGeo provides decision makers, asset managers, engineers and geoscientists with Reservoir Management solutions for conventional and unconventional reservoirs. FracGeo was started in 2014 with the mission of building a fully integrated software workbench for modeling unconventional reservoirs with a robust geomechanical approach. Based on Continuous Fractured Modeling (CFM) and powered by neural network based algorithms, the aim was to capture all relevant elements of fractured reservoirs – petrophysical, geological and geophysical , and build the best representatives' models for sweet spot detection, engineering simulations and production forecasting.
Along the way, as a direct response to the demand generated by the growing shale business in North America, additional capabilities were built to handle more complex geomechanical problems, hydraulic fracture generation and propagation in the presence of natural fractures. This was done by combining the advantages of Material Point Method (MPM), a meshless numerical method and CFM. These remain as modular add-ons to our reservoir characterization portfolio.
A third area of expertise also developed – in the collection, curation and analysis of drilling data to gain foresight on geomechanical properties of a reservoir prior to hydraulic stimulation. A patent was awarded based on original work undertaken by principals of the company.
The first prototype software package, FracPredictor was widely tested by many industrial collaborators and clients. Much valuable feedback was collected, and the company utilized the 2020 and 2021 disruptive breaks to regroup, redesign and streamline our software. The new software and technologies were widely applied in the successful development of a large tight oil play in Africa.
Today, three distinct product lines make up our software portfolio : Flow Palette, Stim Palette and Drill Guidance. We offer both the finished tools as well as the underlying IP on commercial terms.
