Wellbore Stability in Shale Formation Using Analytical and Numerical Simulation
Optimization of drilling fluid parameters such as mud weight, salt concentration, and temperature is essential to alleviate instability problems during drilling through shale sections. The selection of suitable mud parameters can benefit from analyses that consider significant instability processes involved in shale-drilling–fluid interactions. This paper describes the development of analytical...
متن کاملModeling Production from Shale
Mitchell and his team of geologists and engineers began working on the shale challenge in 1981, trying different combinations of processes and technologies before ultimately succeeding in 1997 with the use of a “slick-water” frac that made Barnett Shale economical to develop and in turn changed the future of the US natural gas industry [7]. Continuing on Mitchell’s success progress followed a p...
متن کاملIntelligent fracture creation for shale gas development
Shale gas represents a major fraction of the proven reserves of natural gas in the United States and a collection of other countries. Higher gas prices and the need for cleaner fuels provides motivation for commercializing shale gas deposits even though the cost is substantially higher than traditional gas deposits. Recent advances in horizontal drilling and multistage hydraulic fracturing, whi...
متن کاملSimulation of mode II unconstrained fracture path formation coupled with continuum anisotropic damage propagation in shale
The objective of this work is to simulate mode II multi-scale fracture propagation in shale by coupling a continuum anisotropic damage model with a Cohesive Zone Model (CZM). The Continuum Damage Mechanics – based Differential Stress Induced Damage (DSID) model is used to represent micro-scale crack evolution. DSID parameters were calibrated against pre-peak points of stress/strain curves obtai...
متن کاملSPE-175021-MS Stochastic Modeling of a Fracture Network in a Hydraulically Fractured Shale-Gas Reservoir
This study introduces a novel approach to model the hydraulic fractures in a shale reservoir using a common stochastic method called “random-walk.” The goal of this work is to capture part of the “complexity” of a fracture/fracture network that has been generated by a hydraulic fracturing treatment and to attempt to characterize this fracture network using reservoir performance signatures. The ...
