... the separate ‘upside-down’ or inverted vertical containment of natural gas, condensate and oil in shale reservoirs. Once vertical containment is demonstrated with data from the Eagle Ford shale in Texas, the research moves to investigating huff and puff gas injection in hydraulic fractured horizontal wells...

... and diagnostic analyses, and the use of large stimulation treatments ( e.g. , multi-fractured horizontal wells) can further complicate the modeling of heterogeneous reservoir systems. The primary objective of this work is to provide analytical reservoir models and diagnostic interpretation relations that can...

..., the results of choke management in more than a hundred horizontal wells in Loma Campana block, located in Vaca Muerta Shale Oil window, will be evaluated to investigate the potential impact on estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) and net present value (NPV). Using different flowback strategies, production data...

... reservoirs developed with multi-fractured horizontal wells. With some unconventional reservoirs that are hydraulically fractured, a phenomenon exists whereby material balance and simulation indicate pressure support from a water source that is not always obvious. This phenomenon is believed to be related...

... liquids rich fairway. However, since the first multiple fractured horizontal well was drilled in 2005, there has been proposals for optimizing completions using different fracturing fluid systems and completion techniques. The low oil and gas price environment and the ensuing cost control mechanisms...

... Abstract Success of the unconventional multi-fractured horizontal well revolution depends on creation of a Stimulated Reservoir Volume (SRV). Advances in stimulation technology have been geared towards creating increasingly larger SRV's. However, the techniques for evaluating the size and shape...

... Abstract Despite the technological advances in stimulation practices of Multi-fractured-horizontal well (MFHW), many operators (in early-life) still wrestle with the question – "Is it the rock properties or is the stimulation that is impacting my performance?" Addressing this question requires...

... Abstract A mature reservoir is usually characterized with a number of both vertical and horizontal wells, which may both contribute to a significant recovery to-date. When considering forecasting for new wells in the geological similar areas (GSAs), it is common practice to generate a type...

... Abstract Drilling and fracture stimulating horizontal wells in economically marginal fields, such as tight oil reservoirs, is a common practice. Estimating the connectivity between these wells (IWC) is important for the design and management of a field when waterflood recovery is applied...

... Abstract Oil production from the Bakken formation has been active for 60 years and has applied three well completion design strategies in three different eras: mainly hydraulically fractured vertical wells before 1987, horizontal wells before 1991, and mainly multiple transverse fracture...

... Abstract This paper discusses the determination of in situ stress regime and its resulting impact on hydraulic fracture geometry through an analysis of two datasets that were acquired in a vertical well and a nearby horizontal well in a Canadian reservoir. The hydraulic fracture geometry...

... Abstract The Barnett Shale is one of the first unconventional shale plays developed with multistaged, fracture-stimulated horizontal wells in the world. It is located in North Central Texas near Fort Worth. At the end of 2013, the Barnett Shale had over 14,000 multistaged hydraulically...

... Abstract In multi-fractured horizontal wells, the wellbore is segmented into stages that are stimulated separately. This segmentation is traditionally geometrically based on a specific stage length ("geometric staging"); which is usually determined by trial and error including cost...

.... Fracture Interference Prediction This part of the study focuses on establishing a relationship that can predict or identify the end time of linear flow or the start time of fracture interference among the fractures. In this case, a horizontal well is completed with multiple transverse fractures...
