Speaker: Kevin Wutherich, Drill2Frac Topic: "Estimating Fracture Length Distribution using Depletion Mapping in Infill Wells" Description:  In 2019, a process was developed that uses standard drilling data, obtained on virtually every well, to identify and quantify areas of localized depletion which occur around producing fractures in unconventional shale reservoirs. While this data is most often used to mitigate fracture interactions, this talk will examine the process of quantifying the frequency of fractures identified in infill wells drilled at varying distances from a producing well. It will show how the number of identified fractures decreases as infill wells move further away from the producing offset and demonstrate how this data can then be used to calibrate fracture models to ultimately build a correlation between fracture length and volume as well as quantify the impact of heterogeneity and completion design on fluid distribution among perf clusters. Ultimately, this data can be used to gain insights into well spacing and completion design.
