Bottom-hole pressure monitoring during hydraulic fracturing treatments can provide data permitting better job control as well as improved design for future treatments. Data collected by this method during a recent study of the Cottage Grove Formation in Dewey County, Oklahoma, indicated fracture growth through barriers and also tip screenout. This provided a basis for changes in sand scheduling during treatment and changes in the design of subsequent treatments. Determination of the magnitude of stress in the pay zone and adjoining barriers, rock properties, fracturing fluid leakoff coefficients and friction pressure of fracturing fluid was made. A comparison of production forecast from computer treatment design geometry and actual production was also made. It is shown that careful analysis of pressures during a treatment can be a useful tool in better design and application of fracturing treatments.
