MView

This program provides a data handling system and display module for real-time hydraulic fracturing and minifrac analysis. MView was intended primarily for use with the MFrac and MinFrac hydraulic fracturing design and analysis simulators; however, its flexible structure also makes it functional as a general data handling system. This program was created as a separate utility in order to provide a simple system that would be reliable and operate in a straight-forward independent manner.

Capabilities

Data handling tool to process real-time/replay fracture treatment data
Receive and transmit real-time/replay data
Graphical display, edit and cross plot data
Real-time interface for sending data to MinFrac, MFrac, MFrac-Lite, and MWell

Integration

MView provides a means of sharing the real-time or replay data set with MinFrac, MFrac, MFrac-Lite, and MWell for use as simulation input. This data can include the acquired parameters: pump rate, bottomhole and surface pressures, proppant concentration, and nitrogen or CO₂ injection rates versus time.
