Midland Valley has been working with Badleys to create a stress product that will be compatible with our Move Suite. We are pleased to bring to market - StressTester a fully interactive, 3D computer modelling tool for stress analysis that integrates your structural model with user-specified regional stress conditions, rock mechanical properties and fluid pressure data.
StressTester calculates dilation and slip tendency for real-world fault and fracture systems. StressTester may be used in both Exploration and Production to test concepts and fine-tune your structural model from regional to reservoir scale.
Use it to:
Quantify the effects of present-day stress on hydrocarbon flow in regional 3D models.
Identify dilatant zones, leakage points wherever fault leakage and reactivation problems are suspected.
Test for hydrocarbon flow focusing and stealing and help rank your prospects.
Evaluate open pathways through fault and fracture networks.
Aid in your fault seal predictions.
Fine-tune your fracture connectivity model and well planning.
Evaluate your fault stability whilst drilling in high-pressure environments.
Investigate future effects on fault stability of depleting the reservoir.
Import your models from a range of standard industry modelling software packages, including Midland Valley's 2DMove and 3DMove and is available for Linux, Solaris and IRIX.
Developed by Badleys, Midland Valley will be acting as a reseller for this product.
