Systematic Methodology for Effective Perforation and Fracturing Strategies

Abstract: TX 75083-3836, U.S.A., fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractThis paper discusses an improved completions methodology and criteria for perforating/fracturing based on systematic and enhanced geomechanical reservoir characterization.Understanding of the near wellbore stress distribution is critical to implement a sound perforating strategy. Reservoir quality variations, mixed lithologies with plastic behavior and loading/unloading cycles (drilling and production operations) will alter the near wellbore stress distributi… Show more

“…This method can be used to augment analyses from theoretical models and to check for sand production during water-cut. 13,14 The methodology mentioned above collectively called the Geomechanical model, integrates the existent log information, log interpretation, rock mechanics and reservoir parameters for a well or group of wells to generate a comprehensive reservoir description. Such an integrated approach is applicable to well completion, optimization, strategic placement of completions and development of best practices.…”
