Itasca’s unconventional oil and gas services focus on hydraulic fracturing simulation, including:

• Optimize Stimulation Design
  • height growth
  • injection rate and volume
  • fluid type, additives, and diverters
  • proppant placement
• Validate Completion Design
  • completion types and designs
  • stage isolation
  • stage sequencing
  • refracturing
• Refine Well Plan
  • well orientation
  • landing point
  • well integrity
• Improve Reservoir Management
  • well spacing
  • well placement
  • induced seismicity and fault activation
  • reservoir characterization
  • production optimization
• Induced Microseismicity
  • survey design to find the most effective array to serve the client’s microseismic monitoring needs
  • quality control of processed microseismic data to establish confidence in results
  • reprocessing for improved interpretation, including a microseismic discrete fracture network (DFN)
  • fully coupled, 3D geomechanical modeling to get an understanding of how the reservoir is responding to fluid and proppant injection
