Abstract: Methods and systems for measuring cluster efficiency for stages of wellbores are provided herein. One method includes selecting a frequency band for generating broadband tube waves within the fluid column of the wellbore and generating the broadband tube waves within the fluid column of the wellbore using a pressure pulse generator that is hydraulically coupled to the wellbore. The method also includes recording data corresponding to the broadband tube waves and reflected broadband tube waves using pressure receivers that are hydraulically coupled to the wellbore. The pressure receivers are arranged into arrays with two or more pressure receivers in each array. The data recorded by the pressure receivers relate to characteristics of reflectors (including perforation cluster/fracture interfaces) within the wellbore. The method further includes processing the recorded data using interferometry and performing full waveform inversion(s) on the processed data to determine frequency-dependent, complex-valued reflection coefficients at each perforation cluster/fracture interface.

Abstract: Disclosed is a calculation method for a mobile fluid saturation after reservoir fracturing based on netting analysis, including: performing a fracturing experiment and micro-computed tomography (CT) experiment designs before and after fracturing; dividing a pore development area and a dense area; comparing micro-CT scanning experimental images of the same reservoir core sample before and after fracturing, and dividing a fracture network formed after fracturing; analyzing the propagation of fracturing fractures by netting analysis; determining a porosity of fracturing reconstruction; further determining a mobile fluid saturation after fracturing; and combining with a logging curve to realize the continuous calculation of mobile fluid saturation after fracturing. According to the present disclosure, on the basis of micro-CT scanning data before and after fracturing, the mobile fluid saturation after fracturing is quantitatively calculated by netting analysis and logging curves to cause the evaluation of the mobile fluid saturation after fracturing to be more accurate.

Abstract: A method for adjusting the treatment schedule for a hydraulic fracturing operation corresponding to a hydrocarbon well to limit one or more pumping parameters (e.g., the pump time, pump volume, and/or pump rate) includes analyzing fracture diagnostic data and/or fracture model data to estimate the pumping parameter(s) at which the maximum number of hydraulic fractures will approximate a target fracture dimension during the hydraulic fracturing operation. The method also includes adjusting the treatment schedule for the hydraulic fracturing operation based on the estimated pumping parameter(s) and then hydraulic fracturing the hydrocarbon well according to the adjusted treatment schedule.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed. The methods may include collecting matrix training data along a first depth interval of a first well and training a first artificial intelligence (AI) model using the matrix training data. The methods may further include collecting well data along a depth interval of a well, inputting the well data into the first AI model, and producing a predicted matrix permeability log along the depth interval from the first AI model. The methods may still further include collecting an image at a discrete depth within the depth interval of the well, where the image is of a fracture, inputting the image into a second AI model, producing a predicted fracture permeability from the second AI model, and generating the predicted hybrid-permeability log using the predicted matrix permeability log and the predicted fracture permeability.

Abstract: In a method for diverter fracturing, a water-based fracturing fluid including non-convex particles is introduced into a hydraulic fracture of a wellbore at a first location. Each non-convex particle is formed to interlock with another non-convex particle. A diverter plug is formed in the hydraulic fracture when multiple non-convex particles interlock. Flow of another water-based fracturing fluid is diverted to a second location due to the diverter plug, forming another hydraulic fracture at the second location.

Abstract: An interventionless stimulation and production system includes a housing and a stimulation sleeve. The stimulation sleeve includes a first diverter seat, and a second diverter seat initially having a smaller diameter, where the first diverter seat is configured to permit a first diverter to pass through the first diverter seat and prevent a second diverter having a larger diameter from passing through the first diverter seat, the second diverter seat is initially configured to prevent the first diverter from passing through the second diverter seat, and landing the first diverter onto the second diverter seat shifts the stimulation sleeve from a first position to a second position to initiate a stimulation operation. The stimulation also includes a production sleeve that is initially in a closed position, where the production sleeve is configured to shift to an open position after the second diverter lands on the first diverter seat.

Abstract: A polyacrylamide friction reducer wherein the friction reducer contains surfactant functional groups, and wherein the polyacrylamide friction reducer is degradable, can be used for multi-functional, slickwater fracturing fluid projects. Under downhole conditions, the polymer degrades and releases the surfactant molecules to act as oil displacing agent to provide additional stimulation.
