When a child well is hydraulically fractured near the depleted reservoir volume surrounding a previously produced parent well, it is economically efficient to deliver proppant to the formation volume and fractures not reached by the parent well. A fracture length, which is the distance fluid travels from the child well to the depleted region, is calculated as a function of fracture stage. From identified trends in fracture length, fracture length for future stages can be predicted. Based on predicted fracture length, the slurry or treatment volume to cause well interference can be estimated. Proppant concentration or fracturing stage design can be adjusted so that the well interference volume is larger than the treatment volume and proppant is efficiently delivered to the child well fractures.

Processes for mitigating wellbore screen-out. The processes can automatically determine an onset of wellbore screen-out by analyzing corrected pressure data from the at least one pressure sensor, select at least one type of mitigation action based on the automatic determination of the onset of the wellbore screen-out, and mitigate the wellbore screen-out with the selected at least one type of mitigation action.

Complexity index optimizing job design

Номер: CA3131425A1
Принадлежит: Halliburton Energy Services Inc

Selecting a fracing-plan-to-apply to optimize a complexity index includes identifying a set of controllable input variables that defines a fracing plan. Initial values for the set of controllable input variables are defined. The initial values of the set of controllable input variables are processed to produce an initial stimulated geometry. A complexity estimator is applied to the initial stimulated geometry to produce an initial complexity index, which is evaluated to identify at least one variation from the initial values, which is processed to produce a variation stimulated geometry for each of the at least one variation from the initial values. The complexity estimator is applied to the at least one variation stimulated geometry to produce a variation complexity index for each of the at least one variation from the initial values. The fracing-plan-to-apply is selected from among the initial values and the at least one variation from the initial values.

Real-time fracture monitoring, evaluation and control

Номер: US12037883B2
Принадлежит: Halliburton Energy Services Inc

Systems and methods generally relate to monitoring, evaluating, and controlling fracture geometry during a hydraulic fracturing operation, in real time. A method comprises measuring a signal representing a condition in a wellbore; inputting the signal into a model for estimating a dimension of a dominant fracture; determining the dimension of the dominant fracture; determining a target dimension for the dominant fracture; and minimizing a difference between the dimension of the dominant fracture and the target dimension in real time, by adjusting at least an injection pressure or flow rate of a hydraulic fracturing fluid into the wellbore.

Methods of sintering dense zeta-phase tantalum carbide

Номер: US09896384B2

A method of forming a sintered ζ-phase tantalum carbide can include assembling a particulate mixture including a tantalum hydride powder and a carbon source powder. The particulate mixture can be sintered to form a tantalum carbide having at least 70 wt. % of a ζ-phase with at least about 90% densification. After sintering, the tantalum carbide can be cooled to substantially retain the ζ-phase.

Higher order simulation of hydrocarbon flows of hydraulic fracture treatments

Номер: US09856726B2
Принадлежит: Halliburton Energy Services Inc

Higher order simulation of hydrocarbon flows associated with complex fractures produced in the hydraulic fracturing process in a well system may be used to obtain high fidelity results while minimizing a cost of computation. The higher order simulation of hydrocarbon flows may provide efficient and stable simulation algorithms that avoid any artificial boundary treatment inconsistent with the governing equations, while maintaining a uniform order of accuracy. In particular, a re-normalization technique implements higher-order finite difference/finite volume discretization near the boundary of the complex fractures. The simulation of hydrocarbon flows may be used to determine a production activity for the well system.

Generating a smooth grid for simulating fluid flow in a well system environment

Номер: US09576084B2
Принадлежит: Halliburton Energy Services Inc

In some aspects, a grid-point-spacing ratio is computed for a one-dimensional fluid flow model. The one-dimensional fluid flow model represents a flow path for well system fluid in a subterranean region, and the grid-point-spacing ratio is computed based on a parameter of the flow path. Grid points for the one-dimensional flow model are generated based on the grid-point-spacing ratio.
