... and characterize fracture geometry. However, the LF-DAS data from vertical monitoring wells (VMWs) have not been studied extensively as a means to infer fracture geometry. The major limitation of VMWs is the number of monitored stages, but the data contain more information about fracture height compared with LF...

... Abstract In this study, we revisit a semi-analytical fracture height growth model and propose a fast-marching procedure to obtain the full height map of a given fracture growing in a multi-layered formation. A full height map offers substantial information about fracture growth, which can help...

... Abstract For stimulation treatment of shale reservoirs with thin target zone, extremely low permeability and under-pressure, many problems are encountered such as uncontrollable hydraulic fracture height, small stimulated reservoir volume, low fracture conductivity and slow flowback...

... the uncertainty in the fracture model. The workflow can predict fractures properties such as dip angle, direction, fracture half length, and fracture height. This approach leads to building a realistic fracture model and a well-calibrated reservoir model. We also found that the initial fracture fit over-predicts...

... Abstract Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) inter-stage vertical seismic profiling (VSP) data were acquired during the stimulation of two horizontal shale wells in the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin’s Hereford field. These data were analyzed to obtain induced fracture heights and fracture...

.... Bedding planes and natural fractures with low deviations are developed in the sandstones. This tectonically active in-situ stress state and the low angle natural fractures make the hydraulic fracture to propagate either horizontally or vertically but with small fracture height, which are unfavorable...

... while using linear gel created smaller fracture half-length. In contrast, using linear gel makes the fracture growth increase rapidly up to 290 ft as showed. To conclude, using HVFR-B created high fracture length with less fracture height than linear gel. Additionally, in using HVFR-B, the average...

... the probabilistic effects on these estimations. Recent field test shows a gross overestimation of the modeled fracture heights (sometimes up to a factor of 2x-3x) due in many cases to the presence of laminations. In this work we introduce a Bayesian methodology for probabilistic hydraulic fracture design...
