Evolution of
Fracture Geometry with
Offset Depletion
With over 30 years of development, the Grid Oriented Hydraulic Fracture
Extension Replicator (GOHFER®) software package has proven to be the
leading integrated well design and optimization package. Recognized as
the chief hydraulic fracture simulator in the industry, GOHFER software
computes input from all disciplines of petroleum engineering, including
petrophysics, geology, geophysics, drilling, reservoir and completions.
A GOHFER software project integrates all these disciplines, and leads
to a coherent and consistent three-dimensional (3D) reservoir and
geomechanical model for both unconventional and conventional reservoirs.
GOHFER software is the most powerful, comprehensive tool available
in the petroleum industry for the design, analysis and optimization of
