Learn how to optimize stimulation designs, operational efficiency, and production in unconventional reservoirs
Despite the breakthrough in horizontal drilling that has allowed us to drill longer wells faster, improve operational efficiency, and enable multistage fracturing, a large number of stages, by some estimates up to 50%, do not result in successful fracture geometry for optimal reservoir drainage.
Due to the absence of a design tool providing insight and integrated workflows required for optimization, the industry has opted for a‘brute force factory’ mode. While hydraulic fracturing has become the key to exploiting hydrocarbon, the actual physics to understand reservoir response to hydraulic fracture has been largely ignored. ‘How can we minimize the subsurface waste and optimize the hydraulic fracture network?’ has remained an open question.
In this webinar we introduce solutions to challenges and Mangrove*, an integrated “seismic-to-simulation†workflow for reservoirs that require stimulation to produce economically. Mangrove* workflow enables detailed reservoir characterization for building a consistent reservoir model that serves as the basis for optimizing the perforation and staging design.
Join us to learn how you can optimize your design, improve your production, and reduce your cost.
