Gravel Pack Solution

Simulation-driven oilfield platform delivering accurate gravel pack modeling, treatment analysis, and engineering insights for complex drilling operations.

Overview

With multiple oil barrel storages located across the globe, the company provides services to different oil companies and needed to simulate, evaluate, and optimize their own gravel packs. We developed a professional desktop software for designing gravel packs during uncertainties, featuring 2D and 3D simulation, treatment evaluation, calibration, and online-offline support for use at well-sites and rigs.

Customer

A global oilfield engineering company helping energy operators improve well completion performance through advanced simulation and reservoir engineering solutions.

United Kingdom

Challenge

The client decided to develop a Gravel pack solution that would help oil companies to design their gravel packs during uncertainties or untimely events.

Gravel Pack Solution has provided a variety of options through the user interface but also faced complications during development such as:

Designing the most complex treatments with the fully integrated modelling of the latest technology
Designing an engineering software that keeps everything in memory until final save
Performance optimization while evaluating a large set of data
Online-offline support: Software to be used at well-sites and on rigs where there may not be an internet connection
2D and 3D simulation diagram for each input/feature
Detailed understanding of different oil-field terminology and entire gravel pack process

Solution

The Oil and energy sector is a challenging sector where a detailed understanding of the crucial details of the sector is imperative so as to develop an app. Our team of experienced and dedicated .NET developers took knowledge about the sector from the client, researched thoroughly, and then started developing the solution. TatvaSoft developed a professional desktop software program for use in the design, evaluation, and calibration of well-site treatments.

TatvaSoft developed a professional desktop software program for use in the design, evaluation, and calibration of well-site treatments.

Our custom solution is broadly classified into three main modules

Simulation Module:

This module involves the use of well, reservoir, and other general data and engineering principles to model, predict, and optimize the outcome of the treatment prior to its execution. Features included in this module are:
- Well analysis which includes deviation survey, location type, temperature profile, treatment type, and pipe string component management.
- Completion screen with lower completion tab, running string, and shunt tube tab.
- Fluid Screen
  Manage fluid information.
- Gravel Screen
  Manage gravel information.
- Pumping screen shows initial data like tool position, wellbore fluids, pumping direction and pumping schedule.
- Executing simulation includes data validation, calling engine, etc. Update chart/ results and save result data.
- Result screen shows scenario comparison feature (user can compare multiple scenarios), charts showing real-time progress of simulation execution, and summary of results.
Evaluation Module:

This involves the analysis of measurements taken during the treatment (pressure, temperature, etc.) to determine the success of the treatment post-execution. Features included in this module are:
- Data management feature imports multiple files in different formats.
- Range management feature manages the input range and applies the range.
- Features like pumping screen, results screen, completion screen, gravel and fluid screen, well, execution evaluation are similar to simulate module.
- Calibrate Feature
  It simply overlays the simulation data and the evaluation data on a single plot for direct comparison.
- Unit System
  It defines or modifies units, adds custom units, switches from different unit systems while working on the same system to allow the user to see if the simulation matches reality.
- Documentation Help
  It stores detailed documentation of the whole system, guided inputs.
Licensing Module:

We created a unique machine key, parse license key in the software & activate/update license.
- Software Updates
  Timely check software updates, download the latest software versions, and update the current one.
