Oriented casing perforations can help ensure successful fracturing stimulation treatments by creating a single, wide, planar fracture in the formation, rather than nonplanar fractures such as multiple parallel fractures, reoriented fractures, and T-shaped fractures. Casing should be perforated with regard to the fracture treatment. often, wells are perforated for the sole purpose of production. fracture treatments are then performed later in the well`s life. If wells were perforated with regard to a possible future fracture treatment, the success of the fracturing treatment and overall production gain increases. The paper discusses nonplanar fractures, perforation design, longitudinal orientation, clustered orientation, gravity-based orientation, breakdown pressure, perforating short intervals, and sand control.
