Paper presented at the SPE/AAPG/SEG Unconventional Resources Technology Conference, June 17–19, 2024
Paper Number: URTEC-4029236-MS
.... Abstract Unconventional reservoirs typically decline rapidly, with wells producing 40-50% less in their second year of production, compared to their first. Therefore, it is critical to take measures to ensure maximizing the first year s production. Hydraulic fractures should propagate perpendicular...

Paper presented at the SPE/AAPG/SEG Unconventional Resources Technology Conference, June 17–19, 2024
Paper Number: URTEC-4043150-MS
... Abstract A case study in the Uinta Basin integrated multiple diagnostic measurements to understand the interaction between mechanical stratigraphy, fracture geometry and effective drainage for horizontal wells landed within different benches. In the center of a planned development cube...

Paper presented at the SPE/AAPG/SEG Unconventional Resources Technology Conference, June 17–19, 2024
Paper Number: URTEC-4026302-MS
... Abstract Butterfly modeling is a technique used in Fractional Dimension Rate Transient Analysis (FD-RTA) that reduces a system with multiple fractures to an equivalent system with a single fracture. With this approach, numerical simulations run in seconds, enabling the automatic calibration...

Paper Number: URTEC-4043501-MS
... variable BHP conditions with decline-curve models (Rapid RTA) to estimate the NPV and select the optimal cluster spacing and number of fractures for a given well. We compare the results of DCA and Rapid RTA to estimate and optimize the cluster spacing for a tight-oil and shale gas well. There are six steps...

... by complex, non-uniform fractures, and multi-phase fluid dynamics. These complexities deviate from the diagnostic behavior seen in planar fractures and single-phase flow. To predict well performance under varying pressures and operational conditions, the Hybrid SNR model combines crucial pressure and time...

Paper Number: URTEC-4033730-MS
... medium consisted of two types that are simple trapping mechanism designs (converging-diverging channel and pore doublet) and sample rock-like designs (sandstone and fractured sandstone). The experimental results confirmed that ferrofluid is an effective enhanced oil recovery agent for both the wetting...

Paper Number: URTEC-4043567-MS
... a variation of area perpendicular to flow with distance from fractures by using variable fracture spacing in a well model. Production and pressure data are used to create diagnostic plots that represent the response of a well to constant flow. Model parameters are calculated from these plots and used...

Paper presented at the SPE/AAPG/SEG Unconventional Resources Technology Conference, June 17–19, 2024
Paper Number: URTEC-4042580-MS
.... Abstract Shale and tight formations are characterized by extraordinarily low permeability (micro- to nano-Darcy) and existence of natural fractures at various scales. Horizontal drilling with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing has enabled commercial oil and gas production from those unconventional resources...

... sequential steps to finally have an estimate of cluster efficiency for each hydraulic fracturing stage. First, raw stimulation data acquired from field operations is filtered out to capture a representative zone of interest. Second, key input parameters such as the instantaneous shut-in pressure (ISIP...
