SUMMARY:October General Meeting: Fractional Dimension Rate Transient Analysis
DESCRIPTION:  \nFractional Dimension Rate Transient Analysis (FD-RTA): A Key to\nUnconventional Wells and Complex Fracture Networks\nJorge A Acuña\nJ Acuna Consulting\, LLC. \nAbstract:\nUnconventional wells show features that make them very difficult to characterize. One of them is the “transitional” flow regime that lasts months to years and is different from known flow regimes such as linear or boundary dominated flow. Fractional Dimension RTA (FD-RTA) is based on work on fractals and fractional dimension systems from the late 80’s and early 90’s. These principles were significantly expanded with innovative elements\, rigorous solutions\, modeling techniques\, and adapted to the geometry of unconventional wells. The result is FD-RTA\, a new technique to analyze and understand fracture networks ranging from complex ones with rock fragments of many different sizes to simple ones with equally spaced fractures. This lecture explains the evolution of these ideas and the power of the fractional dimension approach to explain “transitional” flow regimes as the result of fracture complexity. In this new approach\, known flow regimes such as radial or linear flow are only special cases of a single general transient solution. The approach can be easily converted to a numerical model and explains several previously unexplained features\, such as rapidly increasing gas-oil-ratio\, apparent fracture closure with time\, etc. The power of FD-RTA is demonstrated by applying it to parent-child well interference. I would like the members to take away the idea that basic methods for pressure and rate transient analysis can explain previously unexplained features of unconventional well behavior but only when the correct model for fracture geometry is considered. \nBiography:\nDr. Jorge Acuna graduated from USC in 1993\, where he worked on transient behavior of fractal networks of fractures. He joined Chevron (then Unocal) in 1996. He became a leading expert in geothermal modeling and reservoir engineering. He started work in unconventional pressure and rate transient analysis in 2012 and developed Fractional Dimension RTA between 2016 and 2020. The method was published and implemented in commercial software. He retired from Chevron in 2022 to start his own consulting firm J. Acuna Consulting. He has authored more than 30 papers\, regularly reviews SPE papers and has participated as session chair in SPE conferences. \n  \nRegister Here \n

SUMMARY:September General Meeting: Making Unconventionals Competitive – Minimizing the Cost per Barrel Oil
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer’s Name: Leen Weijers\nLecturer’s Employer: Liberty Energy \nAbstract: \n“Our industry’s innovation to successfully frac and produce from shale\, the source rock for hydrocarbons\, has dramatically changed global energy access and geopolitical balances. The North American shale industry has relentlessly pushed for a lower cost to bring a barrel of oil ($/bbl) or a cubic foot of natural gas ($/scf) to the surface. This reduction has greatly benefitted world energy consumers. \nThe dramatic reduction in this cost ratio is sourced in two metrics. First\, cost of drilling and completion has been cut in about half for shale wells over the last decade through efficiency gains and innovations in workflow. Second\, well production has roughly doubled through a focus to increase both the extent and intensity of the created hydraulic fracture system. \nThis North American track record of innovation\, operational learnings and engineering optimization contains lessons learned for other shale basins around the world. One idea members will take away from this presentation is that our industry is capable of wide-ranging and rapid innovation when free market forces are unleashed to produce the cheapest barrel possible. \nBiography: \nDr. Leen Weijers is VP of Engineering at Liberty Oilfield Services and served as its Business Manager at Liberty’s founding. Leen worked at Pinnacle Technologies from 1995 to 2011\, where he oversaw development of a commercial fracture growth simulator\, FracproPT. Leen has authored dozens of publications\, and contributed a chapter to the recent SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Monograph. Leen completed his doctoral research at the Faculty of Mining and Petroleum Engineering at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. \n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Quantitative Analysis of HFTS-2 Completion Designs using Cross-well Strain Measurement
DESCRIPTION:Host:  Society of Petroleum Engineers\, Denver Section \nEvent:  April 2024 Technical Happy Hour​ \nTime:  April 23rd\, 4-6 (HH begins at 4\, Talk at 430\, Social until 6) \nLocation: Ovintiv 40th Floor\, 370 17th St\, Denver\, CO 80202 \nStudy Group Category:  Completion  \nSpeaker: Joseph Mjehovich\, Geophysicist\, IFDATA LLC \nTitle:  Quantitative Analysis of HFTS-2 Completion Designs using Cross-well Strain Measurement \nAbstract: \nLow-frequency Distributed Acoustic Sensing (LF-DAS) based cross-well strain measurement is an advanced monitoring technique used to diagnose completion design efficiency but has been primarily restricted to qualitative analysis. In this study\, we apply our novel Green-function based inversion algorithm to calculate fracture geometry (i.e.\, width) using the Department of Energy sponsored Hydraulic Fracturing Test Site 2 (HFTS-2) dataset. \nWe use the inversion algorithm to calculate dynamic fracture widths using LF-DAS data recorded at two horizontal monitoring wells with permanent optical fiber installations. The inverted fracture widths at the monitoring wells from over 100 hydraulic fracturing stages are used to diagnose the efficiency of eight unique completion designs implemented across three fracturing wells. We develop several metrics to evaluate completion design efficiency including the evenness of fracture widths at the monitoring wells\, fracture density (i.e.\, number of fracture hits per ft)\, and fracture-width-density (i.e.\, fracture width/stage length). \nWe observe a significant impact on completion efficiency with varying degrees of limited entry\, tapered configurations\, and stage length designs. Results indicate improved hydraulic stimulation is achieved with the implementation of limited entry designs for extended stage lengths\, but no observable trend for normal stage lengths. Tapered configurations significantly improve efficiency for extended stage lengths but indicate little impact on normal length designs. Additionally\, our quantitative analysis describes the impact of the nearby depletion zone on completion design efficiency. The methodology developed in this study provides operators with another level of quantitative information to optimize hydraulic fracturing treatments and reduce costs associated with the development of unconventional wells. \nBio: \nJoseph Mjehovich is a Geophysicist at IFDATA LLC\, specializing in the research and development of Distributed Fiber-Optic Sensing for reservoir characterization and well design diagnostics. His primary focus lies in advancing the understanding\, analysis\, and interpretation of cross-well based fiber-optic measurements. At IFDATA\, Joseph seamlessly integrates the company’s research and workflows into real-world field projects\, delivering valuable insights and solutions for clients. \nJoseph earned his Master of Science degree in Geophysics from the Colorado School of Mines\, where he made contributions as a research associate in the Reservoir Characterization Project (RCP) Consortium. His research centered on the quantitative analysis of distributed fiber-optic sensing data to deepen understanding of the key factors driving hydraulic fracture development. Additionally\, Joseph explored the application of distributed acoustic sensing for near-surface seismic surveys aimed at earthquake hazard site classification. \nJoseph has several publications\, including the URTeC 2023 Best of Paper\, and currently has a patent pending with IFDATA LLC. He also received the Harold Mendenhall Geophysics Award while at Mines for conducting cutting-edge and collaborative research. \nRegistration: Click HERE

SUMMARY:YP Lunch & Learn: Diana Hegazy\, The Impact of Modeling Depositional Environments on Above Ground Considerations for CCS Projects
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nSubsurface modeling for Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) is central to a project’s design\, permitting\, and monitoring. Visualized CO2 plume extents resulting from subsurface simulations are often used in the determination of mineral rights\, landowner interactions\, and pre-existing wellbore integrity considerations. Two key geological features affecting plume size and shape include porosity distributions and permeability anisotropies\, which are influenced by paleo-environmental controls on depositional orientations. Study results show how those environmental controls can preferentially direct injected CO2 along depositionally derived permeability pathways\, creating dominant plume orientations\, and ultimately demonstrating how depositionally controlled plume shapes influence above-ground considerations for CCS projects.

SUMMARY:General Meeting: Tom Bradley\, Application of Oil and Gas Subsurface Evaluation Methodology to Geothermal: The Value of Data
DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers \nDistinguished Lecturer 2023-24 Lecture Season \nApplication of Oil and Gas Subsurface Evaluation Methodology to Geothermal: The Value of Data \nTom Bradley \nBaker Hughes Company \nAbstract: \n  \nThe energy landscape is changing: Renewables are gaining in importance as a dependable energy source now that the environmental impact of fossil fuels is understood\, and recent geopolitical events have shown the risks of over-reliance on non-domestic energy sources. \n  \nHeat is a major energy demand. Geothermal energy can be a key contributor as it can supply constant dependable heat for a wide range of uses\, ranging from low temperature heating through mid temperature industrial uses\, to high enthalpies for power generation. It has additional benefits\, that unlike other renewables such as wind and solar\, it has essentially no reliance on varying prevailing conditions. \n  \nHowever\, even with recent industry growth\, and increasing awareness of the importance of subsurface knowledge for geothermal\, many stakeholders are still unaware of it’s value in project success. Therefore\, many projects still disappoint. The knowledge required is very similar to that for successful hydrocarbon exploration. Therefore\, the expertise gained in the hydrocarbon industries over many years can be applied to geothermal projects to help increase their likelihood of success. However\, because of the nature of the two industries\, there is often a barrier that needs to be broken down before this knowledge can be shared. \n  \nIn this presentation\, I discuss the basics of geothermal\, how the subsurface information needed for success is very similar to oil and gas\, show the value of data\, how established oil and gas methodologies can be applied to geothermal\, and how the hydrocarbon industries can contribute to the success of geothermal projects. \n  \nBiography: \n  \nTom Bradley is a Senior Global Petrophysical Advisor with Baker Hughes\, specializing in open hole formation evaluation. After graduating from The Royal School of Mines\, Imperial College\, London with a degree in Geology with Engineering Geology in 1996\, he started his career in 1997 with Western Atlas International. Since then he has worked for Baker Hughes globally in a variety of technical and supervisory roles. Since 2005 he has been based in the Netherlands\, and as part of his current role he is advising multiple stakeholders in the development of geothermal energy in the Netherlands and Europe. \n  \nRegistration: Click HERE
