Faster, more accurate models andmultiple scenarios

A clearer understanding of the subsurface and factorscontrolling production for a specific play is an ongoing issue,particularly in fractured reservoirs. In shale plays, for example,production can vary across plays and even between wellsdrilled from the same pad. Yet, frac design and analysis iscurrently applied in only a very small percentage of hydraulicfracturing projects, largely due to the length of time requiredto gather input data for fracture simulation models.

PowerLog Fracallows engineers to leverage petrophysicalanalysis to model multiple frac scenarios with increasedaccuracy in hours instead of days by eliminating manualcalculations and spreadsheets.

Intelligent decision-makingPowerLog provides a robust toolkit for petrophysical evaluatioof log and core data. Clear understanding of your data equipsyou to perform a better analysis.

PowerLog Frac

PowerLog Fracis the industry s

first petrophysical software thatquickly generates formatted rock and

fluid properties. This is a new tool to

petrophysically analyze well log data

and directly feed results into fracture

simulation software. Completions

engineers use the resulting models

to design better hydraulic fracturing

projects and improve well performance.

Built on proven technologyRenowned for its functionality and easeof use, PowerLog is an industry-standardpetrophysical interpretation package introducedto the oil and gas community more than 30years ago. PowerLog Frac consists of a fit-for-purpose version of PowerLog bundled withthe new FracRat module that CGG developedin partnership with Baker Hughes PressurePumping Division.

FracRat takes petrophysical curve data fromPowerLog and uses empirical and deterministicalgorithms to generate formatted rock andfluid properties required by fracturesimulation software.

Clients who already use PowerLog may purchaseFracRat as an add-on module to their existingPowerLog software.

Improved collaboration for

better decisionsPowerLog Frac allows oil companies and serviceproviders to combine their knowledge andimplement frac simulation as part of a standardcompletions process. Increased collaborationenables faster decisions, essential for enhancedfracture design and improved well performance.

Powerful integrated workflow

FracRat converts the petrophysical analysis to rock and fluid propertiesrequired for frac simulation. An intuitive interface allows the user to defineintervals for computing zone average values before or after running theFracRat module depending on the needs of the user (average petrophysicalvalues or average rock/fluid properties values). FracRat features include:

Both deterministic and empirical algorithms

Tuning parameters to simulation inputs with stimulation test data

a) Load, edit, and apply corrections to log curve data and thengenerate detailed petrophysical analysis

b) Interactively define intervals for generation of average values

of raw and interpreted curve data for input into FracRatc) Use FracRat to transform raw and processed curve data

and generate rock/fluid properties from empirical anddeterministic algorithms

d) Produce a user-formatted spreadsheet file for direct importinto fracture simulation software

e) Match simulation inputs to stimulation test results with Parameter Tuning Tool

With PowerLog Frac, oil companies and service partners can now combine information and quickly achieve consensuson an effective well completions program. Better decisions drive more effective and profitable drilling programs, and

speed is particularly critical when multiple partners are involved in developing a field.
