... Abstract Out-Of-Sequence Pinpoint Fracturing is a conceptual way of maximizing reservoir contact by creating fracture complexity via reducing or neutralizing the stress anisotropy to improve fracture conductivity and connectivity. A complex fracture network is formed by activating planes...

... fracture) or the complexity was inferred based solely on fracturing pressure data. The nature or detail of this inferred fracture complexity and how it related to actual fracture growth (real fracture geometry) could not be determined. This resulted in significant uncertainty in fracture modeling...

... to mitigate fracture complexity resulting in very high net pressures, pumping rates were lowered from 8 m 3 /min, down to as low as 2 m 3 /min. in some cases. To reduce screenouts in the most difficult reservoir zones, 40/70 ceramic proppant was pumped ahead of 20/40 mesh as a proppant slug in most...

... due to excessive fracture complexity and fluid leakoff. A detailed study of the rock mechanical properties, wellbore stress & fracture initiation characteristics, far-field stress regime & fracture orientation, and fluid leakoff behavior was integrated with fracture modeling studies...
