..., materials logistics, and drilling time savings. The SWBM formulation, optimized through digital fluid intelligence and hydraulics modeling, consistently met, or exceeded drilling curve projections even for extended laterals up to 3 miles. Compared to OBM operations, greenhouse gas emissions were 57.8...

...) and document the journey from first discovery to field trials. ADD is a process where un-cemented, open hole laterals are drilled contemporaneously between offset "standard" wells, using the ADD wells to "harvest" productivity from offset well hydraulic fractures. A "standard" well or "frac well" refers...

... is completed in 2 to 3 hours at any stage along a lateral during normal fracturing operations. A typical ADFIT costs only a small fraction of that of a typical DFIT, due to its short duration and association with normal fracturing operations. To confirm if some of the characteristic flow behaviors observed...

... and injection periods. Common wisdom suggests bullhead acid injection is presumed to enter the heel-most clusters, leaving the toe untreated. Although the entire lateral was not logged, the interval of the heel logged provides answers on whether injected fluid treats the heel only or the entire lateral...

... Abstract Recently, the 3 rd Bone Spring Sands have been targeted for drilling laterals in the northern Delaware Basin. It is important to understand the reservoir quality to select appropriate landing points considering the lateral heterogeneities in specific benches. This study focuses...

... separate landing zones was selected for the study. A well drilled in the middle of the pad was chosen to test four different completion designs along the lateral, alternating from a base design to tighter cluster spacing (high intensity), slower proppant concentration ramp (slow sand ramp) and increased...

... a mathematical solution that accounts for poroelastic stress shadow effects and lateral geomechanical heterogeneity, which leads to non-uniformity in hydraulic fracture height and length distribution along the horizontal well. Additionally, a separate solution is proposed for calculating the hydraulic fracture...

... Abstract Bullhead refracturing and mechanical diversion via liners are two common methods of horizontal refracturing. Bullhead refracturing attempts to treat the entire lateral in a single stage, while installing a liner allows for multi-stage completions in the existing lateral. Bullhead...

... so that preventive actions can be taken to minimize the downtime. This work first leveraged transient simulations (OLGA) to probe the mechanism of shut-in induced liquid loading in unconventional wells with long laterals. Based on the acquired insights, various machine learning models, including...

Rock properties were validated by comparing with acquired pilot hole logs which showed that the rock properties were consistent throughout the entire lateral. However...

... Abstract A two-mile lateral infill well was drilled roughly 2000 ft from an offset producer in the same formation. The offset producer was a one-mile lateral and ran parallel to the heel portion of the child. The objective was to maximize productivity and completion efficiency by completing...

... Abstract Refracs have historically been difficult to design, complex to execute, and results largely unpredictable. Under normal circumstances initial completion designs have many unknown variables, including reservoir quality along the multistage lateral, as well as the far field reservoir...

The interference testing provided critical insights into the relationship between fracture treatment design, well performance, and drainage area. The project consisted of a six-well pad (10,000 ft laterals) with a dedicated...

Using DAS interpretation, we see a good match between proppant placed at perforation clusters and far-field observations at the core...

... Abstract This paper is a follow-on to work by Barrie and Patience (2022) on a correlation study between a cored pilot well and produced oils from laterals in the Lower Spraberry (LS) and the Wolfcamp A (WCA) Formations in Martin County, Midland Basin (referred to as well #1 here...

... Abstract Over the past decade, operators have significantly increased unconventional well performance through drilling longer laterals. While longer lateral length is known to benefit production, the exact efficiency of the additional length is a subject of much debate, in part due...
