MView is a rugged data handling system and display module for the
real-time and replay analysis of hydraulic fracture treatments. MView can
accommodate up to fifty data channels and simultaneously allow selection of
twenty parameters for processing.
All data manipulation in MView is done through the use of data sets. A
data set is a group of related data that may come from a text file, an
MFrac output file (.mfrac) or real-time data from the serial port. Each data
set may have up to twenty different parameters. A maximum of five data sets
may be used at a time. All data sets share the same list of parameter
names, which includes unit types (length, rate) and units (ft, bpm). There
are many functions available for processing the data sets. Data sets may be
edited or saved as text files. In addition, any number of data sets can be
merged into a single file with a single time scale and any number of them
can be plotted together.
The first step in using MView is to specify the parameter names, types
and units by accessing the Parameters dialog box from the main menu.
Once a group of parameters has been specified, go to the Data menu and
select Data Sets. To import a data file into an MView data set, specify the
file name and format of its contents. The contents are defined by
associating a parameter with a channel (or column) of data in the file.
MView provides a means of sharing the real-time or replay data set with
MFrac and MinFrac for use as simulation input. This data can include the
parameters: pump rate, bottomhole and surface pressure, proppant
concentration, and nitrogen or CO2 injection rate. Sharing a
data set with MFrac and MinFrac can be done after the data sets are setup
by choosing Simulation Setup from the Simulation menu.
It is important to realize that MFrac, MinFrac and MView are always in
constant communication with one another. When these programs are open, they
automatically share any Real-Time or Replay data set.
After data has been imported into MView, it is possible to construct
composite plots, by choosing the Build Plot command from the Plot menu.
This command will display all of the data that has been imported and allow
a choice of which parameters to include in a plot. MView allows the
construction of up to six plots for simultaneous display.
After the plots have been built, they can be viewed by selecting the
View Plot command from the Plot menu. Whenever a plot is open, all the
standard configuration and exporting functions of all Meyer plots are
available. In addition, MView allows manipulation of the data contained in
the plot using statistical and editing functions.
