PackPro 2026 & FluidPro Add‑On

This quarter, DuneFront introduced PackPro 2026, the latest evolution of our sand control software. The new release features a modernized interface, improved performance, and advanced capabilities designed to enhance modeling accuracy while reducing engineering time.

Among the key innovations is FluidPro, a new add-on module for advanced modelling of fluid displacement, mixing, and non-uniform flow behaviour. In addition, OpsLink connects multiple operations into a continuous workflow, automatically transferring results between simulations to reduce manual setup and potential errors.

Together, these developments help engineers work more efficiently and make better-informed decisions from planning through execution. A key part of our ongoing sand control innovation strategy. Need to know more? Contact us!

Webinar: PackPro 2026 – Improving Accuracy, Efficiency and Confidence

To present these new capabilities, we hosted a technical webinar this quarter, showcasing the latest features and engineering improvements developed over the past year. As a result, you can explore how OpsLink and Custom Equations help reduce engineering time and improve modeling accuracy. Check the videos to see these features in action.

Consulting Studies

Our clients’ continued trust enables DuneFront to support efficient and reliable sand control operations. During the first quarter, several projects demonstrated how targeted modeling and engineering insight can address complex challenges.

Global support:

• South America – AICD OHGP Design: Following new operational constraints, we updated a horizontal open-hole gravel pack (OHGP) design. We used sensitivity analysis to balance AICD coverage and gravel settling. As a result, the treatment was executed successfully, supporting reliable installation and long-term inflow control.
• Southeast Asia – Tight Fracture Margin: For a shallow reservoir with narrow fracture-pressure margins, we developed a gravel-pack design, focused on safe execution. Consequently, the solution reduced fracture risk and improved confidence in a technically sensitive operation.
• Asia Pacific – OHGP Evaluation: We evaluated a completed open-hole gravel-pack with a shunt system. We monitor job data, fluid behavior, and pumping stages. This approach helped identify the most likely scenario, providing clarity for internal decision-making.
• Gulf of Mexico – Treatment Feasibility: For a tight-margin well, we performed sensitivity studies to assess gravel-pack feasibility, and potential wellbore strengthening requirements. This work supported a more informed and robust completion strategy.

Industry Conferences

DuneFront continues to actively engage with the sand control innovation community through key industry conferences and technical events.

Most recently, our team participated in the SPE International Conference on Formation Damage Control in Lafayette, United States.

During the conference, a technical paper developed with the University of British Columbia: “Beyond Plug Flow: Realistic Fluid Displacement Modelling for Sand Control Success”, demonstrated how advanced modelling with FluidPro improves the representation of fluid displacement and supports better sand control outcomes.

In addition, our exhibition booth provided an opportunity to connect with industry professionals, share insights, and present the latest developments in our engineering software.

Team growth

This quarter, we were pleased to welcome Dante Cerron and Anand Balasandran to DuneFront as Technical Sales Engineers. Their experience further strengthens our ability to support clients across key regions.

Our software team recently came together in Poland to advance the next phase of PackPro 2026 and the FluidPro module.

Building on our strategic direction, the team aligned on key developments from more connected workflows and new engineering capabilities in PackPro to continued improvements in FluidPro for more realistic fluid displacement and modeling accuracy.

Guided by our core values of Quality, Efficiency, and Excellence, this work ensures that every development translates into practical value, supporting more informed engineering decisions.

Beyond the technical progress, the meeting also reinforced what drives it: strong collaboration across teams.

As reflected throughout this update, progress at DuneFront is built on connection, between people, technologies, and ideas, as we continue to evolve our solutions with a clear focus on impact.

Looking Ahead

As we continue advancing our sand control innovation capabilities, we look forward to ongoing software development, upcoming webinars, and continued client engagement.

FluidPro: Final Beta Update & Webinar Highlights

Following this, we also shared these advancements in our webinar “Smarter Wellbore Fluid Displacement Unlocking Efficiency with FluidPro.” The session covered model validation through field case comparisons and included a live demonstration highlighting how the software can improve displacement design.

FluidPro will soon be commercially available. You can explore the new FluidPro and access the full webinar on our Resources Hub.

Consulting Studies

Our clients’ continued trust in DuneFront’s expertise has enabled them to meet efficiency and performance targets throughout the year. As part of our Sand Control Updates 2025, the following Q4 projects highlight how we apply advanced modelling and practical insight to support complex operations.

Supporting a Three-Well Campaign in the Southern Caribbean

Firstly, we assisted a major operator during a demanding three-well open-hole gravel pack campaign, with each well posing a different challenge. Through close collaboration, we engineered shunt-packing designs using specialized tools and advanced modelling. This approach optimized the margin to fracture pressure, ensured complete packing, and maintained positive surface pressure. As a result, the operator gained a clearer view of potential risks, refined operational parameters, and anticipated execution challenges more effectively.

Specialized Studies for an Offshore South America Operator

During this time, we also completed two specialized studies for an independent operator offshore South America. First, we designed an open-hole horizontal gravel pack for a well completed with screens incorporating Autonomous Inflow Control Devices (AICDs) to help reduce water production. The analysis addressed the operator’s concerns about gravel settling in the work-string and how it might affect the pumping schedule. Second, we evaluated how an alternative work-string would influence gravel placement. To sum up, this study complemented earlier work and enabled data-driven decisions supported by accurate modelling.

Conferences and Workshops

DuneFront strengthened its industry presence this quarter by participating in key global conferences. These events fostered collaboration, encouraged knowledge exchange, and reinforced our role within the completions community:

• ADIPEC 2025, Abu Dhabi.
  Samyak Jain represented DuneFront on the Technical Committee. He co-chaired a session on advances in water and gas shut-off and engaged with international peers on emerging technologies. The event offered valuable discussions on the future of energy and sustainable development.
  
• Offshore Well Completions Workshop, Kuala Lumpur.
  Kesavan Govinathan presented insights on improving gravel pack reliability while focusing on slurry roping mitigation. His presentation drew strong interest, especially in the non-piston model used to assess roping behavior. The workshop highlighted innovation and new approaches in sand control.
  
• SPE Forum: Sand Control in Next-Generation Brownfields and Depleted Reservoirs.
  Ray Tibbles presented a poster on roping impact and mitigation. The forum highlighted the industry’s growing focus on depleted reservoirs and marginal fields, reinforcing the need for more reliable and cost-efficient sand control solutions.

A Strong Finish to 2025

Throughout the year, we delivered four specialised training schools and 19 consulting projects across South America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, helping operators navigate complex geologies and challenging completion architectures. At the same time, we advanced our software portfolio, completing FluidPro’s beta testing and adding new performance enhancements to the next PackPro release, guided by valuable customer input.

To close the year, the DuneFront team gathered in the South of France for our annual strategic summit, aligning on 2026 priorities and strengthening our roadmap to better support the industry.

As we wrap up 2025, we are thankful for the trust placed in us. Your collaboration continues to shape our solutions, and we look forward to building on this momentum in 2026.
