Title: Estimating Fracture Growth Behavior using Fracture Depletion Mapping for Infill Wells
Abstract: In 2019, a process was developed that uses standard drilling data, obtained on virtually every well, to identify and quantify areas of localized depletion that occur around producing fractures in unconventional shale reservoirs. While this data is most often used to mitigate fracture interactions, this talk will examine the insights gained from quantifying the frequency of depleted fractures identified in infill wells drilled at varying distances from a producing well. It will show how the number of depleted fractures decreases as infill wells move further away from the producing offset. Furthermore, we’ll show how this data is used to build a correlation between fracture length and volume, and the impact of heterogeneity and completion design on fluid distribution among perf clusters. Ultimately, providing insights to well spacing and completion design impacts for overall development strategy planning.
