Operationally, the application of channel fracturing allowed performing more aggressive pump schedules without the risk of screenout...

... make the interpretation of "net pressure" on each fracture face difficult to comprehend or express. But this is a discussion for another time. Erroneous "Tip Screenout" Models Abstract In SPE 18955, published in 1989, a strong case was made suggesting that observed rapid increases in treating...

...-biased proppant distribution. Recently, the approach to fracturing monitoring that integrated DAS and post-job video imaging of perforations was presented in Cramer et al. (2019) . Perforation erosion patterns and DAS data consistently showed heel-biased slurry allocation and indicated screenout...

... of a screenout if lower proppant concentrations are pumped ( Sun et al. 2020 ). Increasing the proppant concentration during fracturing treatments inevitably opens the door to potential screenouts; however, understanding the impact of the proppant ramping schedule can help mitigate the risks of early screenouts...

... Screenouts occur when the accumulation of proppants near the wellbore causes a restriction to fluid flow. In general, screenouts can be detected in the surface treating pressure data with a rapid pressure rise. To effectively study the fracture growth which could be used to predict screenouts...

..., boat-to-boat fluid transfers and crew fatigue. The geological complexities of the reservoir were another major challenge in completing this very thick interval. Perforation intervals had to be placed to avoid a fault (and thus a potential early screenout), avoid a water contact, comply with tool...

One of the issues that has become obvious over the past two years is the limited understanding of the importance of using well and reservoir data as major factors in the selection of perforating programs to prevent premature screenouts. In recent years, several...
