Evolution of completion and fracture stimulation practices in the Jonah field, Sublette County, WY
- and others
This case history discusses the evolution of the completion strategies and fracture stimulation techniques that have turned a large marginal gas resource in the Jonah field, WY into a commercially viable field. Completion practices have evolved from single zone, high-quality nitrogen foam fracture stimulations to multiple zone completions utilizing crosslinked borate fluid systems. Using these new techniques, total field production has increased approximately 180%. A normalized comparison of productivity (q/{Delta}P) per foot of gross clean sand indicates the new completion and stimulation techniques yield shallower decline rates with initial production equal to or higher than the earlier foam treatments.
