New compact power unit
Here’s the newly redesigned KA power unit suited for machine tool, high pressure, and clamping applications.
It serves as a compact power supply that delivers operating pressures of as much as 10,000 psi.
It combines a pump, electric motor, and tank in one unit, offering minimal use of space and easy mobility. It has reservoir capacities as large as 2 galin using less fluid, this environmentally friendly solution creates less waste and requires less expense, the firm notes.
The modular KA is available with single and three-phase motors, in single or dual stage pump versions, and can work with an array of valves (directly mountable) and accessories. Vertical and horizontal installation is possible, and turnkey solutions and customized versions are available by request.

New frac characterization, modeling tool
FRACAFlow is a new fracture characterization and modeling tool.
Dynamic data are analyzed through specifiic modules (production, mud loss, permeability) to provide a fast diagnosis of the impact of fracturing on the fluid flow behavior of the reservoir. Fracture data at wells are also taken into account thanks to a global or well-by-well study.
Curvature analysis, fracture density log computation, or fault analysis in terms of length or throw for example are some of the tools that will help users to better understand reservoirs, the company points out.
The modeling step with the creation of discrete fracture network is enhanced with several conceptual models and can be generated on different zones of interest. There is a dedicated calibration module for automatically determining the model parameters for matching well test results.
The tool’s analytical upscaling method allows the computation of equivalent parameters for fluid flow simulation.
