... Abstract During a bullhead refrac treatment, an Eagle Ford operator utilized active acoustic pulses to measure diverter effectiveness while continuously pumping. The goal was to determine if the fluid point of entry along the lateral would change after the diverter material seated...

... The far-field diverter delivers a fluid system that includes a proprietary blend of multimodal particles to bridge the fracture tip to prevent excessive fracture length and height growth. Benefits include prevention of frac hits and communication between wells, improvement in fracture complexity...

... installation. We show how DAS can be used as a tool for investigating cluster efficiency, diverter effectiveness, and for determining completions problems like screen-outs and stage communication. The analysis of the DAS data demonstrates that current fiber-optic technology can provide enough sensitivity...

...) mechanical isolation by installing cemented or expandable liners in the lateral followed by plug and perf stimulation. These tactics can be used in isolation or combined. Particulate diverting agents can be additionally categorized by particle type (e.g., granular, fibrous) and solubility characteristics...

The operator currently plans to continue using the technology to measure the effectiveness of the new completion methods applied. As they continue to optimize the diverter applications, job size and other tests...

... Successful diversion is traditionally identified as a sudden treating pressure increase upon the diverter material reaching the perforations. However, the real value is derived from sustaining that diversion for subsequent proppant placement. The charting overlay approach focuses on that sustained diversion...
