... Abstract As the industry continues pushing capital efficiency and chasing increasing lateral lengths, the odds of crossing subsurface faults or deformation zones rise. Some features can present different challenges than others. This study in the Midland Basin focuses on a strike-slip fault...

... units (DSUs) containing parent wells is hindered by the large degree of uncertainty around child well performance. Infill child wells have been observed with up to a 40% degradation from their unbounded parents in the Midland Basin. We present an AI enabled workflow to predict infill well performance...

We will describe the core data geomechanics workflows including anisotropic properties from ultrasonic velocities to be integrated and compared against digital sonic workflow services...

... built a gradient-boosting regressor to predict accelerated failure time and used SHAP analysis to determine predictors of flow regime change. Of the 16,000 Midland basin wells investigated, 55% have not yet ended linear transient flow. Kaplan-Meier curves show that flow regimes have been switching...

... and reactivation of pre-existing natural fractures ? Geologic Setting The first Hydraulic Fracture Test Site (HFTS-1) is a field research experiment conducted in the Midland Basin of west Texas (Fig. 1) supported by industry, government and academic partners (Ciezobka et al., 2018). The primary goals of HFTS...

..., then development of the play may be compromised due to unoptimized well spacing and completion design. Midland Basin is a prime location for this application due to a robust resource of stacked pay with multiple high-quality unconventional reservoir targets. The Chow Pressure Group (CPG) analysis is used...

... Abstract Large volume slick-water treatments are standard practice for stimulating JoMill, Lower Spraberry, Middle Spraberry, Wolfcamp A, Wolfcamp B, and Wolfcamp D pay zones in the Midland basin. While deployment of scale inhibitors, biocides, surfactants, and breakers have seen varied...

... Abstract The Wolfcamp D is a prolific target within the Midland Basin due to its lateral extent and positive economic returns. Wolfcamp D specific hazards continue to be notoriously costly for drilling operations due to increased borehole instability, bit balling, and the resulting challenges...

... model can be applied to a multi-well, log-curve data set, individual facies summed within a given unit, and mapped. We demonstrate this methodology using the Middle Leonard (LNRDM; Lower Permian; also known as the Lower Spraberry Shale), an unconventional target in the Midland Basin (MB) as an example...
