Paper presented at the SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, September 23–25, 2024
Paper Number: SPE-220923-MS
... DCA method is introduced for reserve estimation and as a diagnostic tool for unconventional wells with long lateral length and with a great many hydraulic fractures. The method considers that the shale wells produce at flow rates that are influenced by in situ stresses. Namely, the reservoir matrix...

... of underground formations and the lifting of overburden, GPS stores water within hydraulic fractures. This study aims to identify the most efficient GPS design to maximize energy storage in subsurface formations focusing on the hydraulic connection between the wellbore and the fractures. We developed...

Paper Number: SPE-220758-MS
... Abstract This paper is the progress report for the last two years of a three-year DOE funded project aimed at developing and constructing cost-effective hydraulic fracturing tools. These tools are intended to enable zonal isolation for subsurface heat exchange in Enhanced Geothermal Systems...

Paper presented at the SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, September 23–25, 2024
Paper Number: SPE-221006-MS
... Abstract Hydraulic fractures are often assumed to immediately stop growing once pumps are shut off after fracturing treatments. However, fluid momentum and rock properties may allow propagation to continue temporarily post-shut-in. The objective of this study is to determine if and under what...

Paper Number: SPE-221065-MS
... Abstract The interaction between natural and hydraulic fractures (HFs) results in the formation of complex fracture networks. A great deal of uncertainty exists around the geometry and connectivity of these fracture networks. The two primary objectives of this study are: (1) to show how...

... ). Pressure interference of neighboring wells enters the solution of each well through its SRV boundary conditions. In the trilinear-flow model, flow in the SRV is 1D and parallel to the well (parallel to the SRV boundary and perpendicular to hydraulic fracture planes). Although the pressure changes along...

Paper Number: SPE-214910-MS
... Abstract Geological structures such as pre-existence of multiple bedding planes (BPs) significantly influence the hydraulic fracture height propagation in shale gas and shale oil reservoirs. Field engineers have also proved that fracture height is much lower than designed via monitoring...

... inconsistent results, leading to large uncertainties in determining the minimum principal stress. This paper presents a series of small-scale laboratory hydraulic fracturing experiments conducted under true-triaxial compression. The injection scheme consists of a hydraulic fracturing cycle followed by a few...

... of these wells are subjected to hydraulic fracturing. For the development of tighter reservoirs (permeability, k = 0.1 md or less), hydraulic fracturing becomes somewhat essential. 1 A well is first drilled vertical or semi-vertical to the landing point in or above the reservoir section. An angle...

Paper Number: SPE-210063-MS
... Abstract It is widely recognized that hydraulic fracturing creates a region of altered permeability near the fracture/matrix interface. Although we have a limited understanding, it is believed this region plays an important role on the production rates. The objective of this study is to model...

The modeling of hydraulic fractures used logarithmic refinements of the grids perpendicular to the hydraulic fracture surface. In order to have an acceptable grid refinement mesh and an associated time step...
