Model shear fracturing and its impact on tensile fracturing with fluid flow and geomechanics. When shear failure occurs
on a grid block, the tensile threshold used in the Barton-Bandis fracture model can now be increased to facilitate
fracturing. Use this option to predict ‘frac-hits’, as grid blocks experience fracturing (due to tensile failure) much easier
than a grid block without shear-failure.
Integrating the geomechanical fracture model with CMG’s reservoir simulators enables engineers to design and optimize
well completions and field development plans using metrics such as oil recovery factor and Net Present Value (NPV), all
within one software suite.

Furthermore, directly specify the enthalpy of the injected fluid at the specified pressure with the new *HINJW keyword.
