Determination of Fracture Orientation from Pressure Interference

Abstract: Published in Petroleum Transactions, AIME, Volume 219, 1960, pages 301–304 Abstract Inclusion of anisotropic permeability in mathematical analysis of pressure transients observed during development of the huge Spraberry field indicates a major fracture trend which is in good agreement with that observed by fluid-injection tests spread over a 12- by 17-mile area. Delineation of this trend is important in selecting a pattern of injection for the pending large-s… Show more

“…The high volumetric sweep efficiencies are also supported by ifilll drilling and pressure interference testing data. The irdill drilling programs in Spraberry tend to produce wells with high water' cuts indicating that water has contacted a large portion of the reservoir fracture system (Baker, 1996a), and pressure interference test during waterflooding showed conclusively that pressure communication was very good (Elkin, 1960). Low displacement efficiency is indicated by the ,Iow recovery from imbibition experiments.…”

“…Considerable work has been done in the petroleum industry on the movement of oil and gas in fractured reservoirs, and much of this has been of a statistical nature (Freedman and Natanson, 1959;Elkins and Skov, 1960;Zheltov, 1961). Warren and Price (1961) concluded from core analysis and pressure test data that the most probable behavior of single phase flow in a heterogeneous system approaches that of an 0 0 ~) 6 8 3…”
