... to increase production and efficiency are routinely expressed. Automating fracture design execution at the job site is the key to increased efficiency. Automation is an innovative idea in completions but should not be a surprising thought. Automation has already proven to be the key to immediate efficiency...

... Abstract Bullhead refracturing (refrac) treatments in horizontal wells with multiple entry points historically have been particularly challenging to characterize and interpret during the secondary stimulation. Lateral coverage and success are typically measured after the completion...

... verticals, the industry was not receptive to anything other than horizontal completions. Results, Observations, Conclusions As we have often been reminded, we need to study the past lest we make the same mistake again. In this case we studied the past and discovered that there is a viable slick water...

Abstract Recharging parents has been used as a technique in the Anadarko Basin to mitigate the parent-child effect since...

If the previously listed requirements are satisfied, and assuming that injectivity into the saline water aquifer is not damaged during the drilling and completions steps, the CO2 disposal could be assured at the required...

This paper will present examples of traditionally used KPIs, instances where they have gone wrong, and offer an alternative means of consolidating and visualizing data from various commonly available sources. The intent is to better diagnose drivers...

... Figure 3 Gallo Canyon Unit 209H and Lybook A01 2206 #1H microseismic surveys Between 2016 and 2018, wells became longer with an average lateral length over 8,000 ft. Wells were primarily drilled in a NW/SE orientation and were completed using a nitrogen foam fluid or slick- water system...

The paper will describe a range of requirements behind each consideration of deployment of the TSO technique, as well as specific in-situ...

... Abstract Significant attention has been placed on well-to-well interactions since the beginning of infill development in unconventional plays. Asymmetry of hydraulic fractures toward pressure-depleted parent wells has been attributed to poor performance of early in-fill completions ( Xuyang et...

Rock Strength Characterization Rock strength characterization is critical for shallow reservoir development to identify geo-hazards and optimize drilling and completion designs. For example, rock mechanical behavior impacts wellbore stability, formation sanding...

Many different completion design strategies, both on surface and downhole, are used to obtain the best fracture network outcome; however, with complex geological features, different fracture designs, and fracture driven interactions (FDIs) effecting nearby wells, it is difficult to grasp a full...

Abstract This paper demonstrates how to use pressure data from offset wells to assess fracture growth and evolution through each stage by quantifying the impacts of nearby parent well depletion, completion design, and formation. Production data is analyzed to understand the correlation between...

Ideally, a second fiber or multiple fibers can be deployed in offset well(s) to monitor and characterize fracture geometries recorded by fracture-driven interactions or frac-hits in the far-field.

... Abstract Successfully treating each cluster within a hydraulic fracturing stage is a key objective for "plug-n-perf" well completions. Most operating companies would agree that the main underlying desire for a successful completion is related to future production capability. In unconventional...

For the initial part of this study, an infill child well was drilled and completed adjacent to a parent well that had been producing for two years. Due to drilling...
