Highlights of the new features of GOHFER 2007 SP2 include:     

• Metric Log Processing capability
• Scatter Plot capability to create your own relationships and correlations for surrogate mechanical rock properties
• Horizontal (Longitudinal & Transverse) and asymmetric simulation production calculations
• Updated leakoff model to handle relative permeability and damage factors more effectively as well as dynamic leakoff and formation controlled (CVC) leakoff
• Variable Vspurt and modified PDL and storage sensitivity to more adequately represent measured data
• And much more!!!

Regardless of how much data you have, GOHFER makes it easy. GOHFER can integrate multiple LAS and/or CSV files, and even core data. Have little data to begin with? GOHFER has multiple built-in correlations to maximize the data you do have.
