Poly3D

The industry choice for Geomechanical analysis of Fractured reservoirs.

Poly3D is a fast and user-friendly 3D forward and inverse modeling tool based on the boundary element method (BEM).

Poly3D integrates geological and geophysical data on wells, horizons, faults, and joints with geomechanical analyses of the deformation (i.e. displacement, strain and stress) associated with the processes of faulting and fracturing using the fundamental principles of physics, which govern rock deformation

Poly3D provides fast geomechanically-based means for solving various aspects of the subsurface issues related to fracturing and fluid flow.

Key features

• Accurate 3D models
  Poly3D models any 3D complex discontinuities such as faults, joints, sedimentary layers, cavities and salt bodies using triangular dislocation technology.



• Easy 3D model building
  Poly3D has built-in 3D model building workflow that allows easy creation of 3D geological models from any type of industry data.



• Complete fracture mechanics
  Poly3D specifies displacement and/or stress boundary conditions as well as friction and cohesion on faults.



• Realistic 3D loading conditions
  Poly3D can model 3D loading conditions representing any tectonic regimes (i.e. normal fault, thrust fault, or strike-slip fault regimes), gravity field, and effective stress.



• Real rock behaviour
  Poly3D simulates heterogeneous and isotropic linear-elastic materials.



• True mechanical interaction
  Poly3D computes fault mechanical interaction in response to the applied tectonic loading as opposed to the standard elastic dislocation (ED) methods.



• Full deformation attributes
  Poly3D computes displacement, strain and stress fields and associated attributes anywhere in the surrounding volume; on Earth’s surface, seismic horizons, along well paths, at reservoir grid nodes, cross sections or volumes.



• Handy graphic user interface
  Poly3D graphic user interface, workflows and tools facilitate the use and integration within industry standard software as well as for visualising and analysing the results.



• Fast computation
  Poly3D runs several simulations at the reservoir scale in few minutes on your personal laptop, allowing for sensitivity analysis of the results.
