Core Lab - Feature-Driven Interactions: Near-Wellbore Strategies and Basin Benchmarking Metrics
Format:
Lunch and Learn (lunch is provided) followed by networking.
Abstract:
Parent-child (primary to infill) relationships continue to be a major influence in drilling and completions decisions. This presentation covers the intricacies of reservoir dynamics as it relates to Fracture Driven Interactions (FDI’s) and inter-well communication. Depletion from Parent well production continues to be a driving force in predicting fracture driven interactions; however, this is not always the case. The concept of Feature-Driven Interactions (FDIs) is introduced as a classification of geologic-driven interactions. Insight into Feature Driven Interactions as they relate to parent-child interactions is provided by integrating geomechanical data spanning the lateral, along with diagnostic results captured post-fracturing. Quantification and comparative analysis of inter-well communication is included in the case studies using diagnostic metrics. Within this suite of metrics, the "communication intensity" metric compares the reservoir connectivity assessment amongst projects within the basin. This empowers strategic field development decisions through actionable data.
