...Introduction Data published by Rystad Energy ( Figure 1 ) shows the industry has had a strong preference to drill and complete new wells rather than re-fracture existing wells. Abstract Fracture treatments and stage designs for new wells have evolved considerably over the past decade...

... to estimate the extent of the hydraulic fractures. Monitoring wells equipped with downhole gauges, DFITs from multiple new wells close to an existing (parent) well, and calculation of formation pressure from drilling data are among the methods used for pressure depletion mapping. This study focuses...

... (AWD) describes the process of pumping into existing wells while completing new wells in a unit. Detailed evaluations of active well defense projects are cumbersome due to the extremely large volume of data generated from multiple sources, further complicated by the fact that the data are often stored...

... of such interference are becoming increasingly important as frac hits become more frequent. This case study presents a second-generation active well defense project involving four new wells and six offsetting legacy wells in the Bakken and Three Forks formations located in the North Fork Field, McKenzie County, ND...

... Abstract Oil prices have fallen to lows not seen in years. These low oil prices and sustained low gas prices have drastically reduced the number of new wells being drilled in US unconventional plays as oversupply from these plays has reached an all-time high in US storage levels. One...
