Completion Techniques
• Multi-port completion systems
– Hydraulically Isolated Frac Entry Systems
– Often engineered prior to well being drilled and more geared towards spacing than reservoir characteristics.
– Service provider supplies entire horizontal completion system

Completion Techniques
• Wireline Plug and Shoot Completion
– Pumpdown or tractor conveyed
– Equipment is conveyed into the horizontal, with traditional electric line plug setting and select fire perforating procedures

Completion Techniques
• Coiled Tubing Plug and Shoot
– Assembly conveyed on coiled tubing – plug and perforating gun(s) are actuated using pressure
– Typically the bridge plug is set utilizing tubing pressure and perforating guns by annular pressure
– Time delays may be used to permit perforating of multiple intervals

Completion Techniques
• Abrasive Jet Perforating– Used not only on new wells but in re-
perforating zones that have reduced production due to the build up of sediment by flowing oil.
– No explosives are necessary.
– Run with either jointed tubing or coiled tubing.
– No temperature limitations
– Perforate zones from 1’ to 10’ and 4 to 20 holes at a time.
– Tools can be customized for specific phasing.
– Plug and shoot applications can be performed using sand jet perforators.

Microseismic Fracture Monitoring
• Fracturing process creates mini-earthquakes in the formation
• String of geophones used to listen for and then pinpoint the location of these mini-earthquakes in 3D space

Microseismic Fracture Monitoring
• Fracture Dimensions (Width, Length, Height, Azimuth)
• Frac Width -> Packer / Perf Placement
• Frac Length -> Interwell Spacing
• Frac Height -> Borehole Placement in Section
• Frac Azimuth -> Ideal Wellbore Azimuth

OPEN HOLE LOGGING IN HORIZONTAL WELLS
• Why Run Open Hole Logs?
- It’s all the same stuff. Right?
- We will just frac every 100m.
• Coil Tubing Conveyance Options for Open Hole Logging.

Typical Open Hole Logging Services For HZ Wells
• GR
• Caliper
• Resistivity (Induction or Laterolog)
• Density/Neutron Porosity
• Sonic
• Imaging

Why Run Open Hole Logs?
• Evaluate hole conditions for multi-stage frac packer positioning (eliminate wasted frac $$$)
• Evaluate reservoir quality for better placement of acid or frac stimulation (eliminated wasted $$$ putting expensive treatments in the wrong place).
• Locating water production (fractures? or high water saturation?)
• Understand your reservoir (is this well performing better/worse because of your completion technique or the reservoir quality?)

Using Caliper Logs To Optimize Packer Positioning For Multizone Frac
Packers set in washed-out hole may fail,
resulting in an ineffective frac operation.

Using Porosity Logs To Optimize Stimulation
Applying expensive chemicals or
fracs to non-reservoir rock is a
waste of money.

Using Sonic Data To Evaluate Mechanical Rock Properties
Lower Poisson’s ratio
generally indicates greater
brittleness – better response to
frac.

Using Resistivity Image Logs To Locate Existing Fractures
Open fractures - may enhance
productivity or may act as an
unwanted
conduit to water from lower
down in the reservoir.
