ESIMTECH's ESIM-FFA2 fracturing and acidizing simulator provides an unparalleled downhole operations experience for personnel development. Its high-fidelity system delivers substantial benefits over conventional simulators.

Comprehensive Hardware and Software

The ESIM-FFA2 simulator comprises a realistic wellbore environment with physical downhole tools for hands-on practice. A multi-touch operator station enables scenario control and monitoring.

Advanced numerical modeling powers its dynamic downhole conditions simulation. Complex phenomena like fracturing propagation and fluid-rock interactions are replicated in real-time 3D visualization with synchronized downhole pressures and formation responses.

Superior Fidelity of Reservoir and Fluid Models

While other simulators rely on basic equations, the ESIM-FFA2 features robust numerical solvers to precisely represent the full complexity of varied depletion mechanisms, non-Darcy flow, proppant transport and more across all reservoir zones and completion stages. This unlocks a new level of detailed evaluation.

Customization and Extensive Scenarios

ESIMTECH offers customizable scenarios designed around any operator's field parameters, well designs and operational procedures. Combined with a growing international scenario library, the ESIM-FFA2 generates an endless variety of proven and 'what-if' situations.

Here are some key ways the ESIM-FFA2 simulator compares to other simulators in terms of cost:

• Upfront Costs: The ESIM-FFA2 does represent a higher initial investment than smaller desktop simulators due to its advanced modeling capabilities and sophisticated hardware/software systems. However, costs are comparable to other high-fidelity systems.


• Lifetime Training Costs: Despite higher upfront costs, the ESIM-FFA2 delivers such superior skill-building through its realism that it requires far less subsequent field-based training. This drastically reduces total long-term training costs per person over 10-15+ year lifespan.


• Customization Costs: ESIMTECH's expertise in specific operators' reservoirs/wells allows for highly customized and accurate scenarios at reasonable prices compared to generic systems requiring scenario development from scratch.


• Operating Costs: By vastly improving understanding of fracture/acid propagation and fluid placement, workers can optimize treatments - reducing operational costs from poor well performance or additional intervention needs.


• Safety & Environmental Costs: Its realism cultivates expertise in avoiding issues like frac-outs and lost returns that could necessitate costly clean-ups, NPT or regulatory fines in live fieldwork.


• Increased Efficiencies: Personnel are better able to troubleshoot, take contingencies and improve pump schedules/fluid optimization - heightening asset recovery and ROI for operators.

So while short-term expenditures may appear higher, the ESIM-FFA2 yields exponential long-term savings through far superior outcomes justifying its upfront investment.

In summary, ESIMTECH's comprehensive solution delivers the most accurate and immersive simulator experience available. It helps ensure competency through realistic training representing today's ever-evolving well completions industry.
