.... With so many recharges performed we have an extensive set of recharge and non-recharge cases to contrast with infill performance and parent recovery. As well, there have been changing development scenarios which provides an assortment of data to help understand situations where recharges are most...

... Abstract A combination of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal wells is now being used to tap geothermal energy from naturally fractured reservoirs. Fully grid-based numerical models are currently used to simulate heat recovery from enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Such models require a fine...

.... This paper will continue to challenge engineers thinking on the role of proppant and how to best engineer the completion and fracture design to maximize recovery and return on investment. It will review a field study deploying the use of microproppant, as well as the design details, making it beneficial...

... with alternating segments of white and regional proppant to determine if there was a significant loss of recovery over time in the traced or offset wells. Well A and Well B were traced with oil-soluble tracers to measure hydrocarbon communication between proppant types. Four offset wells (Wells C, D, E, and F...

..., trends between oil tracer recovery, several independent variables and features seen in image logs and 3D seismic were identified. All the analyses pointed to decreasing tracer recovery, and likely decreased oil production, near faulted areas along each lateral. A random forest model showed a moderate...

... 7,700 ft lateral sections. The recovery of each tracer is compared between the surfactant treated and untreated segments on each well and totalized to see how the petroleum reservoir system is performing. A complete project economic analysis was performed to determine the viability of a chemical...

A stochastic perforation breakdown and slurry injection model and a conceptual reservoir simulator were used to investigate treatment slurry distribution, production...

... Abstract Enhanced oil recovery in unconventional plays has been a focus of many E&P operators to increase recovery factors. Conventional displacement-based secondary (e.g. water flooding) and tertiary EOR methods are not viable options due to their low injectivity in these ultra-low...

... provides discrete data for stimulation analysis. When compared to a large sample of wells, the data shows that OST tracer recovery may be used as a proxy to estimate oil production. Altering fracture designs within the same wellbore with OSTs provides significant data that is useful for optimizing...

... Abstract Negative fracture driven interactions (FDIs) have the potential to damage offset producing wells. Overlap in drainage area during hydrocarbon production can significantly increase drilling and completion costs as well. If wells are not drilled and completed optimally, then the recovery...

... Without these effects, a piston-like displacement of the frac fluid is expected within a given fracture ( Figure 3 ). In the simplified illustration, the pad stage frac fluid should flow furthest into the formation. It's also possible that a limited recovery of the pad stage is to be ovserved...
