  • Calculating energy based net pressure and corresponding discharge area observed during hydraulic stimulation processes
    Patent number: 11946363
    Abstract: A method for determining discharge area in hydraulic stimulation operations is provided that includes obtaining one or more treatment data inputs from a well system, and determining a discharge area by applying the one or more treatment data inputs to a function that determines discharge area in terms of volumetric flow rate of the fracturing fluid, wherein the discharge area is a total area of all downhole exits through which the fracturing fluid exits a wellbore into a subterranean formation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 26, 2022
    Date of Patent: April 2, 2024
    Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.
    Inventors: Casey Lee Cox, Kenneth Lee Borgen, Russell James Padalecki, Nathan Taylor Crawford
