Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Devon Energy along with petroleum engineering consulting and software firm Whitson and cloud computing company Snowflake developed a system to monitor the dynamics of 5,000 wells.
This paper presents the mitigation of drilling challenges encountered in the Niger Delta through a technique that relates shale resistivity to shale porosity and vertical effective stress to predict pore pressure.
The authors integrated azimuths and intensities recorded by fiber optics and compared them with post-flowback production-allocation and interference testing to identify areas of conductive fractures and offset-well communication.
