ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 31 -- United States Patent no. 12,509,975, issued on Dec. 30, was assigned to ResFrac Corp. (Palo Alto, Calif.).
"Systems and methods for hydraulic fracture and reservoir simulation" was invented by Mark W. McClure (Palo Alto, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Provided herein are systems and methods for modeling and simulating reservoir, wellbore, and hydraulic fracturing. The systems and methods provided herein may facilitate well life cycle simulation by integrating a three-dimensional model representative of hydraulic fracturing and fluid flow in a wellbore and reservoir. The systems and methods may couple fluid flow in the wellbore and reservoir during injection ...
