  • Automatic well control based on detection of fracture driven interference
    Patent number: 11725506
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling the operation of an offset well located near an active well that is undergoing a hydraulic fracturing operation that may produce a fracture driven interference (FDI) event to the offset well. The method includes providing an FDI intervention system that includes a computer-implemented predictive model for determining a risk of the FDI event occurring during the hydraulic fracturing operation, calculating a risk-weighted FDI event cost of the FDI event impacting production from the offset well, and calculating a defensive intervention implementation cost to apply a defensive intervention on the offset well to mitigate harm from an FDI event. The method includes calculating a cost comparison based on a comparison of the defensive intervention implementation cost and the risk-weighted FDI event cost. The method concludes with automatically controlling the operation of the offset well with the FDI intervention system based on the cost comparison.
