Well interactions and Parent Child Dynamics

Tuesday, 3 February
Waterway Ballroom 5-8
Technical Session
Parent child interaction dynamics are discussed using various diagnostic technologies such as fiberoptic monitoring, surface pressure measurements, chemical tracers and FMI for both oilfield and geothermal applications. The diagnostics are supplemented with modeling, geomechanical analysis and classification of the interaction.
