... to a larger fracture surface area within the reservoir rock volume. Thus, accurate estimation of the stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) becomes critical for the reservoir performance simulation and production analysis. Micro-seismic events (MS) have been commonly used as a proxy to map out the SRV geometry...

... that occurs between the derivatives of the observed and simulated pressure transient data and present a methodology to perform full-field transient modeling without the need for single well fine grid sector models. Pressure transient modeling is the process of simulating an observed well test sequence...

... implemented to determine an alternate drilling strategy for the 8½-in. section to overcome such drilling challenges—at lower cost and with a higher performance impact. Using 4D simulation software, the drill bit was completed remodeled so it could be used on an RSS BHA and still minimize the vibration...
