Canadian Gas Well No.

2 Preliminary Design
Well History
The Canadian Gas Well No. 2 is a new producing well in an existing major gas field. The field has been under production for many years through perforations in the main sand (1983 1989 m TVD in this well). The objective is to design and place the optimum fracture stimulation on this well to maximize both the initial potential and profitability of this new well. The field is currently developed on 0.64 km2 spacing (160 acre), thus, the drainage radius for the well is about 402 m. In addition, an un-stimulated well with no skin damage (s=0) makes an average of 250 mscfpd unstimulated.

Pre-Frac Test Data


The well has been drilled and logged (see the preliminary design section) and preparations are being made to fracture stimulate the well. Prior to fracture stimulating the well a series of pre-fracture tests were conducted and have now been analyzed. A revised fracture stimulation design has been developed based on your analysis of the pre-frac test data. The objective of the third part of this project is to predict the post fracture well performance which will result from the designed and implemented fracture treatment. Estimate the well performance in two ways. First, using the Prats correlation calculate a post fracture folds of increase and post fracture production (pre-frac 250 mscfpd). Secondly, based on the reservoir parameters provided and determined in this problem predict the first years well performance with STIMPLANs numeric single phase simulator!

A) Please provide me data in the form of an electronic copy of your answers to the following questions (1) Post Frac Folds of Increase Estimate, (2) Post Frac Production Rate Estimate, (3) STIMPLAN production profiles (rate and cumulative versus time) plots. Note, each file sent should include your MS&T ID as part of the file name (will cost you points if you dont do this) and recognize that this is an individual project.
