  • Method and system for increasing production of a reservoir using lateral wells
    Patent number: 8646526
    Abstract: A method for stimulating production in a wellbore associated with a reservoir. The method includes determining a textural complexity of a formation in which the reservoir is located, determining an induced fracture complexity of the formation using the textural complexity, fracturing the formation to create a plurality of fractures, determining an operation to perform within the formation to maintain conductivity of the formation based on the induced fracture complexity and the textural complexity, and performing the operation, wherein the operation comprises drilling a lateral well originating from the wellbore to maintain conductivity of the formation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 3, 2008
    Date of Patent: February 11, 2014
    Assignee: TerraTek, Inc.
    Inventors: Roberto Suarez-Rivera, Sidney Green, Chaitanya Deenadayalu
  • Method and system for increasing production of a reservoir
    Patent number: 8347959
    Abstract: A method for stimulating production of a first wellbore associated with a reservoir. The method includes determining a textural complexity of a formation in which the reservoir is located, determining an induced fracture complexity of the formation using the textural complexity, determining a first operation to perform within the formation to maintain conductivity of the formation based on the induced fracture complexity and the textural complexity, performing the first operation within the formation, and fracturing the formation to create a first plurality of fractures.
