Single-variate analysis of a non-optimized dataset was shown to be significantly inferior to a multi-variate optimization process to develop a "cloud" or "onion" of datapoints allowing the operator to select an economic optimum that either...

Three infill wells were drilled between two primary wells of varying ages. All wells are shale oil wells with approximately...

... engineering decisions to make more efficient wells as well as help gauge the spacing between each well. The focus of this paper will be on a few case studies in the Bakken which vividly show how infill wells greatly interfered with production output. A DFO deployed with a 0.6" OD, 23,000-foot-long carbon...

... Abstract Increased drilling of infill wells in the Bakken has led to growing concern over the effects of frac or fracture hits between parent and infill wells. Fracture hits can cause decreased production in a parent well, as well as other negative effects such as wellbore sanding, casing...

... and "hope for the best" during nearby frac ops, we decided to pro-actively learn about FDIs and to apply the learnings to frac defense. Frac defense not only protects the primary well, it also helps to prevent asymmetrical fractures in the infill well. We provide methodology used to design and implement FDI...

.... Abstract In the Midland Basin, infill wells have high potential of experiencing well-to-well fracture interference or "frac hits". Rock stress alteration around parent wells affect child fracture interactions thus impacting completion effectiveness, well productivity, and well spacing. Endeavor Energy...

... Abstract Hydraulic fracturing treatments in shale infill wells are often impacted by existing parent well depletion and asymmetrical fracture growth. These phenomena can result in excessive load water production, deposition of proppant and deformation of casing in the parent well...

Infill performance can be highly variable, with operators making great efforts to ensure infill wells perform comparable to or better than existing parent wells. This challenge will become more magnified in the unconventional industry...

For unconventional oil and gas assets the complexity resulting from the interplay of fracture characteristics, pressure depletion, and stress distribution on well performance remains one of the foremost hurdles in their optimal development, impacting infill well and refracturing programs.
