Performance of Finite-Conductivity, Vertically Fractured Wells in Single-Layer Reservoirs

Abstract: Summary Although even a perfunctory survey of the literature suggests that considerable information is available on the response of finite-conductivity fractures in single-layer systems, the influence of the settling of propping agents and the effect of fracture height on the well response need to be examined. These topics are examined in this paper. We suggest methods to analyze well performance when the fracture paper. We suggest methods to analyze well performance when the fracture conduct… Show more

“…This permits accurate modeling of the flow behavior during the fracture and formation linear-flow periods. The grid architecture used in this study is identical to those used by Morse and Von Gonten (1972), Agarwal et al (1979a,b), Bennett et al (1986), Settari et al (2000), Nashawi (2006), and Nashawi and Malallah (2007).

“…In 1960, McGuire and Sikora used an electronic-analog computer model to study the effect of vertical fractures on fractured well performance. Since then, with the advent of the computer era, many advanced numerical solutions addressing well test analysis of fractured oil wells appeared in the well testing literature (Russell and Truitt, 1964a,b;Raghavan et al, 1972a,b;Locke and Sawyer, 1975;Agarwal et al, 1979a,b;Narasimhan and Palen, 1979;Bennett et al, 1982Bennett et al, , 1986Ding, 1996). Subsequently, the numerical models were followed by many semi-analytical solutions (Prats, 1961;Prats et al, 1962a,b;Gringarten and Ramey, 1973a,b;Gringarten et al, 1975a,b;Samaniego, 1977, 1981a;Hanley and Bandyopadhyay, 1979;Lee and Brockenbrough, 1986).…”

“…Only one-fourth of the drainage area is modeled because of the symmetry. The grid system is generated according to the guidelines proposed by Bennett et al (1986). Detailed investigations were first carried out to make sure that compositional simulator can predict the analytical solutions for hydraulically fractured system and to eliminate the effect of the grid size and grid distribution.…”

“…The finite-conductivity vertical-fracture model 13 was also used to interpret the buildup data. A finite-conductivity fracture is feasible because a fracture exists before acid reaches the formation and very long channels within the fracture are created as acid enters the fracture.…”
