< strong>Title: Executing Hydraulic Fracturing Treatments in Natura lly Fractured Unconventional Reservoirs
 \;
Abst ract: Extremely low inter-particle or inter-crystalline permeabil ity (i.e., 50 nanodarcies or less) is a common if not defining characteris tic of many unconventional reservoirs. \; In the above scenario, natur al fracture networks can be essential in providing surface area and pathwa ys for reservoir fluid flow to the created hydraulic fractures extending f rom the wellbore. \; Thus the reservoir area and volume drained by a g iven wellbore, and the ultimate hydrocarbon production, is often a strong function of the quality of interaction of natural fractures and hydraulic fractures. \; In favorable cases, the interaction process can re-open mostly healed or cemented natural fracture sets, significantly enhancing s ystem permeability adjacent to the primary hydraulic fractures.  \;In unfavorable cases, fracturing fluid flow into multiple natural fractures c an result in excessive treatment pressures, near-wellbore proppant bridgin g and premature treatment termination.
This presentation covers a r ange of issues, and mitigating and balancing strategies as necessary, in e xecuting hydraulic fracturing treatments in naturally fractured, unconvent ional reservoirs, as organized in the topical listing below. \;
