... and well spacings. The findings are applicable to cemented laterals completed with multi-stage stimulations in oil and gas reservoirs as well as in enhanced geothermal applications, where effective fracture uniformity is one key to performance. Overall, this paper provides valuable insights...

.... A unique oil tracer was pumped per design. Additionally, an oil tracer was pumped in stages along a greenfield portion of the lateral and another in brownfield stages next to a parent well. A carbon fiber rod was run to get an initial look at production allocation by cluster, stage, and design type...

.... Fiber optic diagnostics were acquired during frac for cross-well strain evaluation and 60 days post-flowback for production monitoring and interference testing. Locations and extent of fracture interactions were observed during the fracturing process, and later compared to the production...

... that the fiber data was highly beneficial in both the fracture propagation modeling and the resulting RTA process. The time-lapse data allowed for visual interpretation of how the flow behavior of different stimulation stages along the lateral are not constant. Early time heel or toe dominance can, and likely...

... 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...

... of the monitor wells. 60 days post flowback, two of the frac'd laterals are sensed using intervention fiber optics to evaluate production allocation at the cluster level. Offset wells are then shut-in and production changes in the sensed well indicate the location and magnitude of interconnection between...

... Fig. 7 illustrates the three measurements used to evaluate fracture geometry. In addition to the microseismic data, strain measurement using the H4 and H5 fibers provided fracture intersections or "frac hits" and the 30 cemented pressure gauges along the H4 lateral provided additional detail...

... on extended use of fracture diagnostics to help us determine why some clusters remain difficult to treat and why some clusters dramatically out-produce others along a stimulated lateral. However, current fracture diagnostics have a cost and operational inefficiency that is not often palatable for everyday...

... A 10,000’ lateral is a relatively small experimental space that limits the number of possible design trials. It is therefore important to adopt a testing philosophy as part of the planning process. The following recommendations enabled us to conduct successful trials. Abstract This paper...

Identifying these drivers may require a better understanding of performance variability along a single lateral. Data analytics can help to identify performance...

As the industry continues a shift in focus to drilling and completing horizontal wells with lateral lengths in excess of one mile, operations teams have been called to study and develop new methods to execute and deliver consistent, cost-efficient results. This paper brings focus to a technology...
