  • Publication number: 20240151125
    Abstract: A system for treating a plurality of adjacent wells having casing includes a wireline, perforating equipment, and a fiber-optic interrogator. The wireline has at least one optical fiber disposed along its length. At least one optical fiber is configured as a distributed acoustic sensor. The perforating equipment includes a perforating gun that can couple to a termination of the wireline. Run downhole on the wireline, the perforating gun can perforate the casing. The fiber-optic interrogator is configured to couple to another termination of the wireline. The fiber-optic interrogator is configured to interrogate the at least one optical fiber for distributed acoustic sensing. The wireline deployed in a well with the perforating gun can remain in the well, while an adjacent well is stimulated to produce hydraulic fracture. During the stimulation, the fiber-optic wireline is used for distributed acoustic sensing during the fracture operation of the adjacent well.

  • Patent number: 11761315
    Abstract: There is provided system and methods for restimulating a hydrocarbon producing well using water and pressures below the closure pressure, which results in production rates approaching the initial production rate of the well. There is provided multiple restimulation techniques using water based fluids at or below the closure pressure of the well, which results in production rates approach that of the prior rate upon stimulation.
