... 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...

...) and the interaction with hydraulic fractures. Then the resulting fracture geometries were input into production modelling software to estimate uplift and calibrated back to producers in the segment. This process was repeated for several reservoir scenarios and fracturing designs to establish the production uplift...

... fracture geometry, but also what portion of those hydraulic fractures are conductive. If both parameters and their interactions are not fully understood, then development of the play could be severely compromised due to unoptimized well spacing and completion design. This study represents a two-pronged...

... interactions between wells during stimulation has been providing new and detailed information about the geometry of hydraulic fractures not available before. Low Frequency Distributed Acoustic Sensing (LF-DAS) and Distributed Strain Sensing (DSS) can be used to determine the timing and location of approaching...

... Abstract Fracture-driven interactions (FDI’s) occur on most modern drilling and completion programs. These well-to-well interactions can be of benefit, but it is often difficult to quantify the lasting effects of these interactions and benchmark it for comparison. The approach for quantifying...

..., 2020 ). A modeling study was performed to investigate potential physical causes and mitigation strategies. We used a fully coupled ‘true’ hydraulic fracturing and reservoir simulator ( McClure et al., 2021 ). The simulator is well-suited to describe parent/child interactions because it fully...

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.
