Assessing the dimensions of hydraulic fractures and the quality of well completions in shale gas and oil reservoirs typically involves techniques such as chemical tracers, microseismic fiber optics, and production logs, which can be time-consuming and costly. This study demonstrates an alternative approach to estimate fracture half-lengths using the Gaussian pressure transient (GPT) Method, which has recently emerged as a novel technique for quantifying pressure depletion around single wells, multiple wells, and hydraulic fractures. The GPT method is compared to the well-established rate transient analysis (RTA) method to evaluate its effectiveness in estimating fracture parameters. The study used production data from 11 wells at the hydraulic fracture test site 1 in the Midland Basin of West Texas from Upper and Middle Wolfcamp (WC) formations. The data included flow rates and pressure readings, and the fracture half-lengths of the 11 wells were individually estimated by matching the production data to historical records. The GPT method can calculate the fracture half-length from daily production data, given a certain formation permeability. Independently, the traditional RTA method was applied to separately estimate the fracture half-length. The results of the two methods (GPT and RTA) are within an acceptable, small error margin for all 5 of the Middle WC wells studied, and for 5 of the 6 Upper WC wells. The slight deviation in the case of the Upper WC well is due to the different production control and a longer time for the well to reach constant bottomhole pressure. The estimated stimulated surface area for the Middle and Upper WC wells was correlated to the injected proppant volume and the total fluid production. Applying RTA and GPT methods to the historic production data improves the fracture diagnostics accuracy by reducing the uncertainty in the estimation of fracture dimensions, for given formation permeability values of the stimulated rock volume.","PeriodicalId":16723,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135878050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to an essential pressure decline, the reservoir is now a potential candidate for injection projects. The geomechanical analysis is essential for a successful injection operation to enhance reservoir production and address possible challenges. An accurate estimation of the injection pressure is necessary to maintain optimal conditions during the injection process and reduce possible risks. In this work, a coupled reservoir-geomechanical model, as well as rock mechanical tests, is performed to evaluate not only pressure variation and the associated in situ stress changes but also their potential influences on fault reactivation, reservoir–caprock stability, and surface displacement. For geomechanical evaluation, empirical correlations are derived between static and dynamic rock properties based on core data and existing petrophysical logs for the studied reservoir–caprock system. Based on the hydro-mechanical results, the maximum displacement is limited to the vicinity of the injection wells, where the highest pressure changes occur. The geomechanical analysis of the reservoir–caprock system shows that this system is stable until the injection pressure reaches 4.3× the initial reservoir pressure. Also, the injection pressure is not high enough to compromise the integrity of faults, indicating that the loading on the fault planes is too low to reactivate the pre-existing faults. The approach followed in this study can be applied to future field development strategies and feasibility considerations for CO 2 sequestration and underground gas storage projects.","PeriodicalId":16723,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135981535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
