    摘要: An implementation of the present invention will typically be performed through use of two test fracturing or "mini-frac" operations to determine formation parameters. A first mini-frac operation will be performed to determine the fluid efficiency of the formation, and a second mini-frac operation will be performed to determine a late time fluid leak-off coefficient. The data thus obtained will be functionally related to simultaneously solve integral expressions to determine the total volume of fluid lost during pumping and the total volume of fluid lost during shut-in in response to an assumed spurt time. The fluid loss values will then be functionally related to the established fluid efficiency to estimate an early time fluid leak-off coefficient. The early time fluid leak-off coefficient thus determined will then be applied in a balance equation to verify the accuracy of such value in response to the assumed spurt time. The assumed spurt time may then be varied and the above fluid loss values iteratively reevaluated until the balance equation is satisfied within an acceptable range of tolerance.

In one embodiment, a method comprises the step of selecting a target fracture geometry for a portion of a subterranean formation. The method further comprises the step of introducing a pad fluid comprising a fluid-loss-control additive into the portion of the subterranean formation to create or extend one or more fractures in the portion of the subterranean formation, wherein an amount of the fluid-loss-control additive is determined based at least in part on the target fracture geometry. The method further comprises allowing a barrier to form along at least a portion of the one or more fractures, wherein the barrier comprises the fluid-loss-control additive. The method further comprises introducing a slurry fluid comprising proppant particulates into the one or more fractures, wherein a tip screen-out occurs in at least one of the one or more fractures.

    摘要: An improved method for fracturing oil wells is disclosed and claimed herein. In particular, the present invention involves the determination of the direction of fracture propagation, i.e., perpendicular to the minimum stress existing within a given formation and the alignment of perforations produced by a variety of perforating devices with the previously determined direction of fracture propagation. The methods disclosed and claimed herein will eliminate many problems encountered in the prior art, including reducing the pressure required to initiate fractures and reducing the undesirable effects of near well bore tortuosity.

    摘要: The present invention provides a reliable, high efficiency perforation breakdown process. The inventive process, which utilizes a treating fluid and ball sealers, can be used in all types of wells. In the inventive breakdown process, the number of perforations existing downhole which have already been opened but have not yet been temporarily sealed is determined from observed wellhead pressures and/or wellhead pressure changes. A treating fluid flow rate is then established such that (i) the treating fluid will continue to flow through the already opened perforations which have not yet been sealed at a velocity which is at least as high as the minimum effective sealing velocity but (ii) maximum safe wellhead pressure will not be exceeded when one or more additional perforations is sealed.
