... mitigation for a Delaware Basin operator. Over 200 New Mexico and Texas State line Delaware Basin solid samples were collected over a two-year period, spanning 7 distinct producing intervals. Focus was placed on the most common producing zones such as the Wolfcamp, Bone Springs and Avalon formations...

... Abstract Successful development of the Wolfcamp and Bone Springs in the southern Delaware basin requires a clear understanding of the complex interactions between primary wells and infill wells. Pressure sinks around depleted primary wells give rise to fracture-driven interactions during...

We consider horizontal wells targeting one of the Wolfcamp or Bone Spring benches and exclude all wells with missing lateral length or proppant mass. We discover that simultaneous inclusion of proppant...

... reservoirs comprising the Avalon Shale, Bone Spring, and Wolfcamp formations. In a quest to develop these resources in an optimum manner, operators are targeting multiple reservoirs in one section, using a stacked and staggered pattern. With the expectation that this wine-rack pattern of wells is the future...

... Abstract A combination of physical laboratory analysis and digital rock analysis (DRA) tests were conducted on plug samples from two wells in the Delaware Basin. The samples tested were taken from the Second Bone Spring (2BSPG) and Wolfcamp A (WCA) formations. The purpose of these tests...

... Abstract The First Bone Spring sand received much of the drilling focus as horizontal development began in the Delaware Basin. As development moved south, deeper into the basin, operators began targeting the upper First Bone Spring sand and the emerging lower First Bone Spring shale...
