Patent number: 10087722Abstract: A system and method for performing stimulation operations at a wellsite having a subterranean formation with of a reservoir therein is provided. The method involves generating a plurality of quality indicators from a plurality of logs, and combining the plurality of quality indicators to form a composite quality indicator. The plurality of stress blocks may then be merged using diversion criterion. The composite quality indicator may be combined with the merged stress blocks to form a combined stress and composite quality indicator, the combined stress and composite quality indicator comprising a plurality of blocks with boundaries therebetween. The method may further comprise defining stages along the combined stress and composite quality indicator based on the diverter-assisted stage classifications; and selectively positioning perforations in select stages based on the diverter-assisted stage classifications thereon.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2015Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Bruno Lecerf, Dmitriy Usoltsev, Timothy L.

Publication number: 20170114613Abstract: Method for well re-stimulation treatment using instantaneous shut-in pressure (ISIP) to guide the design and execution of refracturing stages. Pore pressure and optional cluster stresses are determined at a start of the treatment. Goal ISIPs for the refracturing correspond to undepleted regions of the formation, and target ISIPs versus treatment progression/stage range from about a lowest pore pressure corresponding to depleted regions of the formation up to within the goal range ISIPs. Diversion and proppant pumping schedules are designed, and the refracturing treatment is initiated in accordance with the design. ISIP is measured at stage end, and if it varies from the target ISIP, subsequent stages are modified from the design as needed to more closely match the ISIP schedule.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2015Publication date: April 27, 2017Inventors: Bruno Lecerf, Brian D. Clark, Hongren Gu, Dmitriy Usoltsev, Rajgopal V. Malpani, Brian Sinosic
