... to undermine completions by causing horizontal hydraulic fracture growth and undesirable proppant migration. Physics-driven frac simulation of this fully integrated geomodel was performed to determine design completion and fracking strategies for the target reservoirs. Post frac analysis for three Diyab wells...

... directions, competing fracture growth from multiple closely spaced clusters, and interaction with layers of varying mechanical properties are successfully modeled. In addition, it is shown that by coupling peridynamics with FEM and FVM an efficient fracturing simulator is obtained that can reproduce complex...

... insight in to fracture growth and depletion patterns. In addition, by avoiding these areas of localized depletion during completion, negative fracture interactions can potentially be significantly mitigated or even avoided. The 5 case studies presented show how this technique has been utilized...

... contain singular heterogeneities and strong vertical and horizontal anisotropic properties that greatly affect fracture growth. The abundance of heterogeneities is believed to affect vertical hydraulic fracture growth (positively or negatively) due to stress differences, toughening effects at interfaces...

...) simultaneously. We use the history matched model to run sensitivities for both upspacing and downspacing scenarios with respect to conventional 500 ft. spacing. In all sensitivity scenarios, we monitor the growth of fractures with the actual pumping schedule to investigate fracture growth and possible...
