The second quarter has been exciting for DuneFront. We’re thrilled to share the release of the latest version of PackPro, alongside our continued support for clients and successful webinar sessions. Read below about all the exciting things we’ve accomplished so far.

We proudly launched PackPro 6.3 a month ago which comes with lots of new features and functionalities, underpinning our commitment to providing the best software experience for our users. This latest version includes an improved reporting workflow along with enhanced chart and grid functionalities which allow users to do more in less time. We’ve also added two new modules for Managed Pressure Gravel Packing (MPGP) and network license detaching which are available at an extra charge to completement and expand the core functionality for specific applications.

We are continuously updating and incorporating new features in PackPro, and we appreciate the valuable feedback we get from our clients. Please get in touch if you have any questions about PackPro 6.3 or are interested in licensing any of the new modules.


DuneFront is committed to knowledge-sharing through our regular sand control webinars. This quarter, our webinar focused on the topic of “Well Productivity Enhancement through Effective Cased Hole Gravel Pack Design”. Our Technical Sales Engineer, Ramy Hatem, explored the importance of perforation packing and how proper modeling can help identify methods to improve both packing and productivity. He also discussed the design of single and multi-zone shunt configurations in PackPro for cased hole gravel pack treatments.

You can watch this and all our webinars on the resources page of our website.


DuneFront’s continuous commitment to supporting our clients has kept us busy this quarter with our team being actively engaged in providing consulting services and training.

We completed two studies for an IOC operating in the Asia Pacific region. They were planning to execute a complex shunted OHGP, using shunted packers and other enabling technologies, and the presence of shale made the treatment design even more challenging. Using PackPro, our team of experts performed various sensitivities and provided recommendations to optimize the gravel pack treatment. This enabled the operator to understand and reduce the risk associated with the execution, improving the chances of successfully placing the pack.

We also had the opportunity to conduct PackPro training for an IOC in the Gulf of Mexico, which we tailored to their specific requirements. They learned how to better use PackPro in the design and evaluation of a their operations, helping them master gravel pack techniques.

If you have any sand control consulting or training needs, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We would be happy to work with you and customize the solutions to meet your needs.


We always enjoy attending conferences to share knowledge, network and continue building relationships with our clients. Our technical team attended multiple conferences this quarter.

Ramy Hatem, our Technical Sales Engineer, attended the Oman Petroleum and Energy Show in April. This conference is the only event in Oman that serves as a key meeting point for oil and gas companies, so Ramy had the opportunity to explore market trends and network with industry peers.

In May, our Technical Sales Team Lead, Kesavan Govinathan, participated in the IPA convention and exhibition in Jakarta, Indonesia. It provided a great opportunity to connect with clients and explore how services and expertise can address sand control challenges in Indonesia.


For the past few months, DuneFront’s software team has been busy developing the latest version of PackPro. To celebrate the release of PackPro 6.3, the team enjoyed a day of rock climbing and other fun activities in Poland.

With the celebration behind them, they’re now eager to start working on the next version, which promises to further enhance PackPro’s capabilities and features.


Overall, it has been another productive quarter for DuneFront and we would like to thank all of you for your continuous support. We look forward to hearing from you with any feedback or questions, feel free to reach out to our team of experts at any time.

Finally, DuneFront’s new brand is launching soon, and we can’t wait to share it with you! Stay tuned for a fresh look with the same commitment to excellence.
