Another step closer to real-time hydraulic fracture design With the commercialization of a sealed wellbore pressure monitoring system, more operators have access to improving the efficiency of their fracture clusters.
Language: Inglés Publication details: oct. 2020Description: [c.a.] 3 pOnline resources: In: E & PSummary: The holy grail of optimizing well completions is the ability to design in real time a hydraulic fracturing operation. Slowly fading are the days of "pump and pray," replaced in part by the technological leaps made in the collection and analysis of millions of datapoints. With these datapoints, it is now possible to recreate the subsurface to better visualize the movement of fluid, the length of fractures and more. With the commercialization of sealed wellbore pressure monitoring (SWPM), completions engineers can monitor fracture growth and the fluid volumes between treated wells by tracking the pressure response in a nonperforated wellbore. As fractures approach the sealed wellbore, a pressure response is generated. Engineers are able to use the response to determine fluid volumes quickly using pressure gauges mounted at the surface.| Current library | Status | Barcode | |
