This training is an introduction to continuous modeling with FLAC2D and FLAC3D. At the end of the course, participants will master the graphical interface, documentation and the main modeling steps. Concepts are illustrated using a tunnel excavation example, from building the model geometry to results analysis. This introductory course provides the foundation for more advanced use of the software, which can be covered in more specific training modules.
Two examples are shown here from the Microseismic (MS) monitoring of the Hydraulic Fracturing of a tight-gas sand reservoir in the Bossier formation in the Dowdy Ranch field.
The first example shows the processed results of the single-stage stimulation, not including waveform data. Click here to download a presentation with a description of the project and instructions on navigating through the main visualisers.
The second example shows a sample subset of events including full waveform data to explore the full functionalities of InSite Seismic processor (depending on the version and tools installed).
