UNCONVENTIONAL SUBSURFACE TECHNICAL CHALLENGES

UNCONVENTIONAL SUBSURFACE TECHNICAL CHALLENGES
‒ Accurately
incorporating the effect
of anisotropy in
organic shale
reservoirs
‒ Completing a well in a
structurally complex
geologic environment
‒ Understanding how
clay mineral
composition affects the
drilling and completion
operations
‒ Identifying and
stimulating “sweet
spots” to maximize
productivity
UNCONVENTIONAL SUBSURFACE TECHNICAL CHALLENGES Horizontal Laminations
© 2015 Weatherford. All rights reserved.
Stimulated fracture system is influenced
by the extensive horizontal laminations
pervasive in shale reservoirs
Laminations strongly influence the
hydraulic fracture height because of the
difference in rock mechanical properties
measured normal and parallel to the
bedding planes
In order to accurately predict fracturing
height from logs in this environment, these
mechanical property differences must be
taken into account

UNCONVENTIONAL SUBSURFACE TECHNICAL CHALLENGES Wellbore Response to Fracturing
A better
understanding
of rock’s
behavior can
lead to
selecting the
best placement
for stages and
perforations in
shale wells

A TAILORED APPROACH
Near real-time guidance for
enhanced completion decision-
making
Optimize production from each
stage
Complete a well in a structurally
complex geologic environment
Identify and stimulate “sweet
spots”
Optimize stage design and
cluster placement for future wells
