The application of hydraulic fracturing models in conjunction with tracer surveys to characterize and optimize fracture treatments in the Brushy Canyon Formation, southeastern New Mexico

Conference ·
OSTI ID:457327
In this study of the Brushy Canyon Formation, sonic-derived, rock-mechanical properties and bottomhole treating pressure (BHTP) data from fracture treatments will be history-matched with a fully three-dimensional (3D), a lumped 3D, and a pseudo 3D fracture model. Height dimensions obtained from these history-matches are compared with temperature and radioactive tracer surveys to better characterize fracturing mechanics in this Delaware Mountain Group formation. Cases will be presented from Eddy and Lea Counties in southeastern New Mexico.
