Permeability variation in propped hydraulic fractures with changing fracture stress state in gas reservoirs

Conference Ochs, D E

Most hydraulic fracture design optimization models do not account for any change in the permeability of a propped hydraulic fracture due to the changing stress on the proppant pack with time. The assumption that this change is not significant may cause a serious overprediction of the future production of a fractured well leading to a non-optimal treatment design. This problem is investigated here through the use of an integrated fracture propagation, reservoir production, and economic computer simulation based on published analytical models. This simulation changes the permeability of the hydraulic fracture as the stress on the fracture increases over time,more »« less
Hydraulic fracture stimulation of highly permeable formations: The effect of critical fracture parameters on oilwell production and pressure

Conference Mathur, A K ; Ning, X ; Marcinew, R B

Hydraulic fracturing of moderate to high-permeability reservoirs with short, highly conductive fractures is a technique often applied to improve well productivity through penetration beyond near wellbore damage. This paper investigates the effect of important fracture parameters (e.g., fracture half-length, fracture conductivity, and fracture-face damage) on the short-term behavior and long-term productivity of the well. The degree and extent of near wellbore damage, in addition to the fracture parameters, are varied in the sensitivity analysis. A case study from the Gulf Coast addresses the effect of these important parameters on the well response. It is evident the length and conductivity ofmore »« less
A study of changes in deep fractured rock permeability due to coupled hydro-mechanical effects

Journal Article Figueiredo, Bruno ; Tsang, Chin-Fu ; Rutqvist, Jonny ; ... - International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences

This paper presents a numerical study of the hydro-mechanical behaviour of a fractured rock domain at 1000. m depth below the land surface as a function of different levels of fluid pore pressure. A 2D fractured rock domain is adopted based on data obtained from outcrop mapping, displaying multiple fracture sets, fracture intersections, dead-end and curved fractures. A continuum based numerical model is used to evaluate the effects of compressive boundary stresses, cracking by tension failure in the intact rock and fractures and shear displacement along fractures on its equivalent permeability. Two in situ stress boundary conditions are considered: anmore »« less

The effects of retrograde liquid condensation on single well productivity determined via direct (compositional) modelling of a hydraulic fracture in a low permeability reservoir

Conference Carlson, M R ; Myer, J W.G.

Development of a retrograde condensate reservoir required accurate well productivity predictions for a capital commitment to gas processing facilities. Historically, Fussell identified that liquids condensing in the reservoir will result in a substantial productivity impairment. A single well model, which included a hydraulic fracture as part of the grid system, was developed to perform sensitivities for well test interpretation and to predict long term performance. Interesting results were obtained. The productivity of fractured wells was not impaired to the degree expected. Radial modelling confirmed the results obtained by Fussell. Current simulation technique allows for direct modelling of a hydraulic fracturemore »« less
