Fracture Modeling and Refracturing Operations

Wednesday, 1 February
Waterway 1-4
Technical
This session will focus on advances in fracture modeling workflows and the completion and value of refracturing operations. Fracturing modeling topics include the application of first-principals, DFN design methods, optimal cluster spacing and analysis of pressure behavior on offset wells. Refracturing topics focus on the application of full-length casing patches, diverter effectiveness and the economics of refracture treatments. The improved methods and workflows discussed in the session will help maximize recovery in new well completions and the success of refracture treatments.
