  • Geo-mechanical based determination of sweet spot intervals for hydraulic fracturing stimulation
    Patent number: 11921250
    Abstract: A process for the determining of sweet spot intervals based on a combination of rock quality, an in-situ stress regime, natural fractures, and the identification of fluid flow paths from the interaction of hydraulic fracturing and formation attributes. The process may include determining geological components, determining mechanical earth model outputs, and determining sweet spot intervals using additional data from fracture calibration tests. Systems and computer-readable media for the determining of sweet spot intervals are also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Identifying Fluid Flow Paths in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
    Publication number: 20230084141
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for the identification of fluid flow paths from the combination of aperture determined from microresistivity logs and mechanical properties from a mechanical earth model for a strike-slip fault regime. Fluid flow paths may be identified from a combination of apertures, shear stress, and normal stress for fractures in a naturally fractured hydrocarbon reservoir.

  • Constrained natural fracture parameter hydrocarbon reservoir development
    Patent number: 11578596
    Abstract: Systems and methods for developing hydrocarbon reservoirs based on constrained natural fracture parameters. A natural fracture modeling is generated for a reservoir, an initial set of fracture model parameters is determined, and a fracture model optimization is conducted to determine an optimized set of fracture model parameters. The optimized set of fracture model parameters are used as a basis for modeling the reservoir, and the modeling is used to generate a simulation of the reservoir.
