Multiple hydraulic fracture stimulation in a deep horizontal tight gas well

Conference ·
OSTI ID:166648
This paper outlines the stimulation program used to successfully complete the 15,687 ft (4,783 m) TVD deep horizontal well Sochlingen Z-10 in the tight Rotliegendes sandstone onshore Germany. The program included the breakdown multiple rate infectivity test, use of proppant erosion stages to reduce near wellbore restrictions, and minifrac data analysis. Use of open annulus to analyze the stimulation treatment and modify the design is also covered. Considerations and experiments behind the design and execution of this horizontal well stimulation with hydraulic fractures perpendicular to the wellbore are presented and discussed. The well is now producing at a stable rate of 18 MMSCFD (20,000 m{sup 3}/hr).
