Determination of pressure dependent leakoff and its effect on fracture geometry

OSTI ID:457286
The effects of natural fissure opening, or pressure dependent leakoff, on the pressure behavior observed during fracturing are significant. Previous work has suggested that this behavior can be identified from pressure diagnostic plots during pumping, or from pressure falloff analysis. However, these techniques lead to ambiguous conclusions regarding the magnitude, and even existence, of pressure dependent leakoff, This paper presents a method of pressure falloff analysis which removes this ambiguity and allows an accurate determination of the magnitude of pressure dependent leakoff. The effects of fracture tip extension and recession, height recession, and transient flow in the fracture are also identified. The effect of pressure dependent fracture compliance, which has not been previously published, is also described.
