WELCOME!
This is the Hydraulic Fracturing Technical Section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).
This technical section encompasses the subject of hydraulic fracturing technology through online events, online networking, workshops, conferences, and by promoting diversity in the industry. The purpose of this section shall be to provide a forum from which technical professionals and academia can:
  • Share knowledge, experience, and best practices
  • Identify major issues and technology areas on which to focus cooperation and discussions
  • Maintain and promote industry awareness of related issues and technologies
  • Enhance their own technical competencies that meet the needs of the petroleum industry
We will accomplish our mission through the transfer of knowledge at study groups, monthly meetings, forums, and workshops.

Title:  Interference Testing in Shale: A Generalized ‘Degree of Production Interference’ (DPI) and Developing New Insights into the Chow Pressure Group (CPG)

Speaker: Mark McClure, CEO ResFrac Corporation  

When: Tuesday, 30 July 2024 | 12:00pm CDT (US and Canada)

Calendar Invite

Summary:

This talk summarizes the results from the recently presented paper, URTeC 4053742. The study integrates field data, numerical simulations, and analytical derivations to study production interference testing in shale. First, we investigate the Chow Pressure Group (CPG) technique, and: (a) explain why the CPG has a qualitative association with the strength of production interference, (b) assess the conditions under which the CPG reaches a stable long-term plateau during the typical duration of a test, and (c) if it does, explain whether this plateau has a physical interpretation. Next, we study the Devon Quantification of Interference (DQI) technique, and: (a) use the ‘two-well’ Degree of Production Interference (DPI) metric to derive a relationship for a ‘uniform-spacing’ DPI that is applicable for a well bounded on both sides, and (b) develop a procedure to calculate a generalized DPI that accounts for arbitrary gun-barrel configurations, spatially variable fracture conductivity, and anisotropy. The new generalized DPI technique is validated by applying to a field dataset where extended shut-ins (2+ days) were performed months after the interference tests, allowing independent assessment of the interference test interpretations. The generalized DPI procedure: (a) provides fracture conductivity measurements that can be used in general-purpose reservoir engineering calculations, and (b) enables rapid ‘what-if’ analysis to test the economic impact of modifying well configuration. 

Biography: 

Mark McClure established ResFrac in 2015 to help operators maximize value through the application of advanced geomechanics and reservoir simulation. Before founding ResFrac, Mark was an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin in the Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering. After earning a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering and a Master of Science in petroleum engineering from Stanford University, Mark earned a PhD in energy resources engineering at Stanford.
