... in 2018 PRMS. However, post-pandemic trends show operators drilled shorter lateral length wells and applied less proppant for better profitability, which is contrary to previous aggressive stimulation strategy. This study analyzed over 10,000 Permian Basin shale wells from 80+ anonymous operators during...

... Abstract In unconventional reservoirs, optimal completion controls are essential to improving well productivity and reducing costs. In this article, we propose a statistical model to investigate associations between shale oil production and completion parameters (e.g., completion lateral length...

... design parameters lead to increases in this performance parameter (IP); increasing lateral length, increasing stage volume and decreasing stage spacing. However, all of these changes increase the capital spent on the completion. To achieve improved economic performance parameters, balancing the total...

... Abstract Wells in the Permian Basin continue to increase in technical complexity and lateral length, testing the limits of traditional completion practices in unconventional wells. Coiled tubing has been the standard method for drilling out frac plugs in the basin but has mechanical limitations...

... well designs in the region. One of the key components to the enhanced completion practices has been the implementation of progressively longer laterals. The rate of increase in lateral lengths have slightly slowed in recent years, as operators approach the point of no additional value creation...

... Abstract This paper reviews the U.S. shale well drilling and completion strategies in recent years. A data-driven approach is taken to correlate the production performance to the lateral length focusing on the Midland basin and Delaware basin. Six lateral length cases were studied, ranging from...

The work provides insights into Marcellus well performance as a function of stimulation parameters such as the volume of stimulation fluid and the amount of pumped proppants. The impact of perforated lateral length is taken...

After filtering out invalid data for those features, we were left with 4,124 wells in the Midland and 12,610 wells in the Eagle Ford. Abstract In recent years, operators have been pumping more...

... and analyses. The plan required strategic placement of Non-Rotating Protectors (NRPs) based on predicted casing wear, analyzed side forces, and lateral length. Additionally, the operations group wanted to simultaneously improve computer modeling for both casing wear and torque and drag (T&D) analysis. One...

... production is normalized by proppant volume and lateral length ( Fig. 6 ). For the Wolfcamp-Midland Basin, in 66% of cases, the best 12 consecutive months (B12) oil production from parent wells was better than that of child wells within 1,000 ft spacing or less. Normalizing the same production to amount...
