Delineating a Subsurface Fracture System in A Petroleum Reservoir-An Experiment

Abstract: The use of a multisensor array has shown that hydraulic pressurization can be useful in delineating subsurface fracture systems in petroleum reservoirs. It can help in establishing effective patterns of injection and production wells to avoid premature waterfront break-through, and thus increase sweep efficiency and oil recovery in flooding operations. Introduction Well stimulation by hydraulic fracturing is often a prerequisite to effective oil recovery by p… Show more

“…Toward this, numerous monitoring methodologies have been proposed (Evans et al, 1980;Keck et al, 1978;Pierce et al, 1974;Power et al, 1975;r,reenfield et al, 1977;Komar et al, 1973 Dobkins, 1q79, Lester et al 1979) some have proven out to some extent in the field (Smith et al, 1978) and we have been seeking alternative more comprehensive schemes. Related to this is our desire to work with opaque porous speciMens in the laboratory, so that we need a method for delineating the crack perimeter within the sample.…”
