.... This data was analyzed to determine the locations of the Fracture Driven Interactions ("frac hits") at the cased (but sealed) production well (16B). The location and design of perforation clusters in the production well were specified based on this analysis. Perforating and fracturing the production well...

... Abstract Slickwater multi-stage hydraulic fracturing is one of the most effective technologies for stimulating unconventional reservoirs. However, achieving uniform proppant distribution between perforation clusters in slickwater fluids remains a significant challenge due to the low viscosities...

... Abstract Proppant transport in horizontal wellbores has received significant industry focus over the past decade. One of the most challenging tasks in the hydraulic fracturing of a horizontal well is to predict the proppant concentration that enters each perforation cluster within the same...

... an analytical model to examine the theoretical distribution of slurry between perforation clusters from a geomechanics framework. A perforation placement scheme was then developed to minimize the stress difference between clusters and to segment stages by the intensity of natural fractures while conforming...

... Abstract This paper presents design considerations and field trial applications for determining practical dimensions and limits for interdependencies associated with stage length, perforation clusters and limited entry pressures. Recent applications by multiple authors and companies have begun...

... multiple study results, the paper concludes and elaborates that the effective cluster spacing is the most critical parameter that we may be able to control and can influence the most in the unconventional reservoir development. The paper first shows three observation cases of perforation cluster spacings...

... of proppant between multiple perforation clusters has a substantial impact on treatment behaviors and results. If the proppant is not evenly distributed between the perforation clusters, the perforated intervals will not be equally stimulated. Only a few studies evaluating proppant transport in horizontal...

... Abstract It has been widely demonstrated that frac stimulation efficiency and more importantly production, varies significantly between perforation clusters as well as between sleeve entries. Recent trends indicate that many operators are simultaneously increasing the number of perforation...
