  • Publication number: 20230237223
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media for estimating well interference on a target well from other potential wells in a subsurface volume of interest are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may include: obtaining well implementation data for the target well and the other potential wells; obtaining estimated reservoir volumes as a function of position; generating well overlap between the target well and the other potential wells; generating extraction interference probabilities; generating a representation of a well layout as a function of position in the subsurface volume of interest; and displaying the representation.

  • Patent number: 11674376
    Abstract: One embodiment of a wellbore to fracture connectivity apparatus comprises an opening portion representing an opening in a wellbore for receiving fluid, proppant, or any combination thereof to generate at least one fracture in a formation; a fracture portion representing the at least one fracture in the formation; and a coupling portion representing wellbore to fracture connectivity between the opening portion and the fracture portion. The coupling portion couples the opening portion and the fracture portion.

  • Patent number: 11466557
    Abstract: Embodiments of determining proppant distribution for a plurality of clusters within a fracture stage of a wellbore are provided herein. The embodiments include performing computational fluid dynamics modeling on at least a portion of a wellbore without any openings and a portion of the wellbore comprising at least one opening along a single azimuth to determine proppant efficiency for the at least one opening along the single azimuth while simulating flow of fluid, proppant, or any combination thereof through the wellbore, an equilibrium proppant concentration profile for the portion of the wellbore without any openings, and an equilibrium velocity profile for the portion of the wellbore without any openings. The embodiment further comprises determining proppant efficiency for at least one other opening of the wellbore at a different azimuth, generating a model that correlates the single azimuth among other items, and using the model to determine the proppant distribution.
