The task of identifying key production drivers in unconventional reservoirs remains challenging, even after decades of exploration and production in North America during which tens of thousands of horizontal unconventional wells have been drilled and completed.  Tens to hundreds of variables, categorized as reservoir quality, well architecture, completion, stimulation, and production metrics, are involved, and …

When re-pressurizing a producer well by directly pumping into the wellbore or by indirectly fracturing into it, one will preferentially provoke shear slips in the depleted section.  These events can be detected by microseismic monitoring methods and collected into a 3D description of the depleted volume.  We describe the concept of Microseismic Depletion Delineation, MDD, …
