ANALYSIS OF VERTICAL GROWTH OF FRACTURES IN FRAC PACK OPERATIONS IN RESERVOIR ROCKS
|
| |
|
Summary :
|
|
ABSTRACT. A STUDY ON THE VERTICAL FRACTURE GROWTH IN HYDRAULIC FRACTURING TREATMENTS IS PRESENTED. A PSEUDO-THREE-DIMENSIONAL, QUASI-ANALYTICAL MODEL IS USED TO COMPUTE FRACTURE HEIGHT AS A FUNCTION OF THE FRACTURING FLUID VOLUME, INJECTION RATE, THICKNESS OF THE RESERVOIR AND STRESS CONTRAST BETWEEN THE PAY ZONE AND THE ADJACENT ONES. AN APPLICATION TO A FRAC PACK TREATMENT IS DEVELOPED, PRESENTING PLOTS OF VERTICAL GROWTH AS FUNCTION OF THE VARIABLES INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS.
KEYWORDS: HYDRAULIC FRACTURING, FRAC PACK, PETROLEUM, FRACTURE PROPAGATION, PSEUDO THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELS.
