Reduce NPT and optimize production
Our geomechanics software suite offers solutions to complex problems, such as wellbore stability, fracture identification and analysis, or pore pressure prediction. Through better decision making with better information, you can reduce nonproductive time and optimize production.

Increase oil and gas recoveryWhen you're working with deep oil and gas reservoirs with low porosity or permeability, the frac job must be faultless. Using superior software allows you to get the complete picture. We have a complete suite of software tools for detailed history matching and fracture optimization studies. Receive real-time 3D fracture geometry, including data on acid fracturing, wellbore heat transfer, proppant transport, and perforation erosion.

Build and update reservoir models quickly and accurately Baker Hughes JewelSuite™ reservoir modeling software quickly builds and updates complex reservoir models accurately. This software changes the way you think about geological modeling and reservoir simulation.
We've integrated seismic, geologic, flow simulation, and geomechanic models into a single, multidisciplinary workflow, an industry exclusive. These four models in one offer you a comprehensive view of the reservoir faster with all asset team members, regardless of location, able to update the model working in our collaborative framework. Each team member can analyze risk and opportunity.
Baker Hughes uses a Customer Advisory Council comprised of a cross section of industry professionals to guide JewelSuite software improvements. The council is one of several channels Baker Hughes draws on to improve the JewelSuite reservoir modeling software's capabilities to forecast unconventional reservoir performance with confidence.
Unconventional plays
Improve your unconventional workflows by adding microseismic visualization functionality with different scenarios to test well productivity, based on horizontal well patterns and hydraulic fracturing design. In addition, you can easily import digital elevation models from the US Geological Survey for managing large data volumes and connect to the GEM™ reservoir simulator.
Complex geology
JewelSuite software manages structural complexity without compromises. Our geologic modeling software with patented gridding technology allows you to capture regional and local structure(s) without geometrical degradation. What you see is what you model.

Improve reservoir insight and accurately assess geomechanical risks The Baker Hughes JewelSuite™ GeoMechanics software suite provides a proven workflow to help you optimize your well plans and define a safe operating window to maximize drilling performance, minimize drilling risk, and improve safety. With the JewelSuite GeoMechanics software, you can calculate geomechanical models and analyze wellbore stability from well logs and drilling data.
For geomechanical models, you can calculate overburden, formation pore, and fracture pressure, as well as rock mechanical properties and horizontal stresses. For wellbore stability analysis, you can plan wells by calculating a critical mud weight window and a casing design corresponding to wellbore failure criteria; evaluate drilling risk for proposed well plans by forecasting borehole stability along the well trajectory for a proposed mud program; and perform quantitative risk analysis. In addition, you can access real-time or playback drilling data (wells, trajectories, and logs) from remote locations.
JewelSuite GeoMechanics software enables you to reliably predict abnormal pressure incidents during drilling to mitigate kicks, blowouts, and lost circulation. You can also reliably predict wellbore stability issues during drilling to mitigate wellbore collapse, tight hole, stuck pipe, excessive hole cleaning, fishing, kicks, lost circulation, formation damage, casing deformation, and sidetracks. Further, you can overcome the limitations of the predrill analysis by reducing inherent uncertainties during drilling, resulting in more accurate and reliable predictions of abnormal pressure events and wellbore instability ahead of the drill bit.
You can use JewelSuite GeoMechanics software independently or as part of an advanced integrated geomechanical workflow with other new Baker Hughes geomechanics applications: 3D Static GeoMechanics for the migration of 1D well-centric models to 3D reservoir-centric models, 3D Dynamic GeoMechanics for full-field finite-element geomechanical simulations, 3D Fault Slip Analysis for critically stressed faults and fractures, and JewelSuite Geologic Modeling for 3D seismic pore pressure prediction. You can use these applications together seamlessly, exchange data between them via shared files, and drag and drop data between them.
