Title: Investigation of height growth in frac pack completions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:457315

This is a study of height growth in nine wells encompassing thirteen productive intervals that were completed as frac packs. The data used to evaluate these completions include bottom hole pressure recordings during treatment placement, multiple radioactive tracer logs, production spinner surveys, pulse neutron logs, and production history profiles. This study addresses concerns about fracture containment near water and barrier integrity. The study also involves limited aspects of fracture completions in laminated reservoirs. The completions studied include high pressured formations, depleted low pressured situations, as well as normal pressure zones.
