Real-Time Field Development Optimization Using Fracture Compliance
This presentation outlines a novel technology that helps create a clear link between completion operations and production outcomes, thereby materially improving the efficiency (in terms of speed and accuracy) of the field development optimization and improvement cycle. The technology uses deep neural networks to identify and monitor fracture compliance (cfrac) during pumping operations. Cfrac, when aggregated to the well level, emerges as a better predictor of well productivity than any other previously explored design parameter, or combination thereof. Field examples demonstrating cfrac's predictive capability and optimization potential will be shown from two unconventional plays (Montney and Haynesville) where the tech has already been applied.
Registration closes on Monday, November 30 at 8AM ABT.
