Abstract: Methods for using shut-in pressures to determine uncertainties in a hydraulic fracturing process in a shale reservoir are described. Data commonly collected during multistage fracturing is used to calculate propped fracture height and induced stresses, as well as other variables, in the presence of horizontal stress anisotropy. These variables can then be incorporated into reservoir simulations to improve the fracturing monitoring, forecast hydrocarbon recoveries, or modify fracturing plans.

Abstract: A well configuration for co-injection processes, wherein a horizontal producer well at the bottom of the pay is combined with injection or injection and producer wells that are vertical and above the lower horizontal production well. This well arrangement minimizes “blanket” effects by non-condensable gases.

Abstract: A method of assessing cross-well interference and/or optimizing hydrocarbon production from a reservoir by obtaining low frequency DAS and DTS data and pressure data from a monitor well, when both the monitor and production well are shut-in, and then variably opening the production well for production, and detecting the temperature and pressure fluctuations that indication cross-well interference, and localizing the interference along the well length based on the low frequency DAS data. This information can be used to optimize well placement, completion plans, fracturing plans, and ultimately optimize production from a given reservoir.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for breaking cement within an annulus of a wellbore. In one implementation, an annulus cement breaking system includes a cement compression tool operable to be disposed within an inner bore of a casing having a longitudinal length. The casing is disposed within a wellbore formed in a subterranean formation having a cement layer disposed within an annulus formed between the casing and the subterranean formation. One or more actuation elements are coupled with the cement compression tool, and the one or more actuation elements are operable to engage the inner bore. The one or more actuation elements are transitionable between an unactuated state and an actuated stated. The actuated state operable to engage the inner bore of the casing, thereby radially expanding the casing and compressing the cement layer.

Abstract: The presently disclosed technology relates to an arrangement for seismic acquisition where the spacing between adjacent pairs of receiver and sources lines is not all the same. Some receiver and/or source lines and/or receiver and/or source spacings are larger and some are smaller to provide a higher quality wavefield reconstruction when covering a larger total area or for a similar total area of seismic data acquisition, while providing a wavefield that is optimally sampled by the receivers and sources so that the wavefield reconstruction is suitable for subsurface imaging needs.

Abstract: Described herein are methods for accelerating the start-up in SAGD type processes wherein the volume between the injector and the producer is preheated utilizing open-holes drilled between wells. The recovery of hydrocarbons is also improved due to a viscous fluid drive in the open-holes during SAGD operations.

Abstract: The invention relates to the drilling of wells in rock and hydrocarbon formations. Drilling is performed with a drill string having a bottom hole assembly (BHA) and drill bit. Drilling mud is circulated during drilling. A valved inlet port is provided in the BHA which, in the event of a pack-off, opens and allows drilling mud to enter an internal space in the BHA to relieve pressure. An outlet port at the proximal end of the BHA may be provided to allow he mud to flow back into the annulus around the drill string. In this way, rapid build-up of pressure is avoided and the driller has more time to respond to the pack-off.

Abstract: Method for characterizing subterranean formation is described. One method includes inducing one or more fractures in a portion of the subterranean formation. Determining a poroelastic pressure response due to the inducing of the one or more fractures. The poroelastic pressure response is measured by a sensor that is in at least partial hydraulic isolation with the portion of the subterranean formation. Monitoring closure of the one or more fractures via the poroelastic pressure response.
