Well History
FrcSkl No. 1 was drilled as an infill producing well to a deeper horizon. RFT reservoir pressure
data, however, showed the planned completion interval to be in a fault block already drained by at
least two offset wells. Plans are thus being considered to complete a relatively low permeability gas
sand at ≈ 5,300 feet. This gas sand has been seen while drilling other wells, and appears to be
continuous over a wide area. For completion purposes, the well will be re-permitted as an explora-
tion well on a 640-acre (2.6 km2) drilling block (drainage radius, re, of 2,640 feet or about 800 m).
Log Data
The attached material shows a calculated log section for the potential completion interval. In
addition, a long-spaced sonic log (which has not been fully interpreted) over the section showed the
sand to have a compressional wave sonic travel time of ≈ 55 microseconds per foot (travel time over
the shale was erratic, but an average value was about 53, slightly faster than the sand). Maximum
bottomhole temperature recorded over this interval during logging was 170° F (77° C).
(Note that despite the apparently high water saturation, very little water was produced during
the flow test discussed below. Also, a temperature log run over the interval near the end of the flow
period suggested some production from at least 70 feet of the interval.)
Reservoir Data
Reservoir pressure is unknown, though deeper horizons in the area have generally had "normal"
pressure (e.g. ≈ 0.43 psi/foot of depth). The well was drilled through the potential gas sand with a
mud weight of 9.5 lb/gal (equivalent hydrostatic head of 0.5 psi/foot) with no significant gas shows.
Assuming a normal pressure gradient gives reservoir pressure ≈ 2,300 psi at a depth of 5,300 feet.
The well was perforated at 2 shots/foot, 60° phasing, as indicated on the log, and a cased hole
drill stem test was run; flowing about 520 MSCFD of dry gas after 24 hours. Gauge failure de-
stroyed a subsequent build-up test. However, ASSUMING “0” skin, the approximate "PI" equation,

pi ................ Reservoir pressure (psi)
Tsc ................ Temperature at Standard Condition (typically 530° R)
shows this rate is consistent with an average formation permeability to gas of about 0.10
md (assuming a net pay thickness of 70 feet and assuming a “0” skin).

Reservoir Fluid Data
Assuming a gas gravity of 0.7, fluid property correlation data gives the following values at
2,300 psi and 170° F:
Gas viscosity = 0.016 cp, Z-Factor = 0.84, Gas Compressibility = 440x10-6 1/psi.
Core Data
Two pieces of core data are available from an exploration well core drilled several years ago.
These two samples showed clean sandstone, with porosity of 11.2 and 14.7%, and air permeability
(apparently tested on dry core with no confining stress) of 0.28 and 0.45 md. It is expected that
actual in situ permeability would be significantly less than these values, with the pre-frac flow rate
POSSIBLY indicating an average permeability of about 0.10 md (net height of 70 feet).
Future Production Conditions
Compressors are readily available in the area, and it expected that any gas production would
quickly be put on compression; giving a surface producing pressure of about 100 psi with a
bottomhole flowing pressure (BHFP) of about 200 psi. The well was completed with 5-½” casing,
with 2-7/8" tubing landed at 5130 feet.

8) Fluid Loss - Estimate 'C' and Spurt Loss
A 30 or 40 LB Cross Linked Gel has been recommended as a treatment fluid, and for a relatively

9) Fluid Viscosity - Find Apparent Viscosity in Centipoise
The following fluid viscosity data has been supplied by a service company. The fluid tested for
this data includes an amount of normal, 'SP', breaker designed for a "6 to 8 hour break" (e.g. broken
to a viscosity of < 5 cp).
Fluid Type – 40# Cross Link Gel w/Breaker
n’ K’
At Surface Temperature 0.45 0.1590
At Reservoir Temperature for 0 hours 0.52 0.0771
At Reservoir Temperature for 1 hours 0.58 0.0310
At Reservoir Temperature for 2 hours 0.66 0.0108
At Reservoir Temperature for 4 hours 0.78 0.0022
At Reservoir Temperature for 8 hours 0.90 0.00021

Assuming a pump time of 4 hours, will this fluid give sufficient proppant transport (e.g. does it have
50 cp viscosity at 170 SEC-1) ________________________________________________________________
Use the data at 2 hours as representing an average fluid rheology; for an in situ shear rate of

10) Fracture Pressure Data - Closure Stress Tests
A gel mini-frac was pumped with the goal of determining fracture height growth and fluid leak-
off characteristics. However, prior to this mini-frac, a series of injection (and injection/flowback)
tests were conducted to accurately measure formation closure pressure. For these tests (and the
subsequent gel mini-frac), bottomhole treating pressure was measured with a surface readout, wire-
line gauge set at 5,465 feet. All recorded pressure data are corrected to a mid-perforation depth of
5,375 feet. The closure stress tests were conducted with 2% KCl water with 10# HPG gel (10 lb poly-
mer per 1000 gallons of water) for friction reduction. This data is used to find the fracture closure
stress, and possibly to give an estimate of reservoir pressure.

The closure stress tests consisted of:


1) Injection/Shut-In-Pressure-Decline-Test - conducted by injecting about 25 bbl of KCl water
at 10 BPM (injection time of 2.5 minutes), and then recording the pressure decline as seen below.

Gel Mini-Frac Data –Viscous Gel Mini-Frac Data Used for Frac Geometry/Fluid Loss
A gel mini-frac was pumped by injecting 38,000 gallons of 40 lb/1000 gallon cross linked frac-
turing fluid down tubing at an average rate of about 35 BPM (gel pump time of 26.7 minutes), and
then flushing the well with 2% KCl water. This data, via Fracture Pressure Decline Analysis is used
to determine the overall “type” of fracture geometry (i.e., reasonable height confinement, PKN, or
Radial, or ?) and to calculate a revised value for fluid loss coefficient, ’C’. Injection pressure (and
pressure decline) data are plotted and tabulated below. Data is included in FRCSKL1.STP file.

13) Pressure History Matching - Refine H, E, C Estimates
Using the QUIK Simulator, determine values for 'H', 'E', and 'C' which are internally consistent
with the treating pressure (e.g. the final net treating pressure, ps = ISIP minus closure pressure,
and the pressure decline behavior (e.g. the match pressure, ∆P*, and the time-to-close or efficiency)
measured after the mini-frac. It is generally best to start by matching the final net pressure, ps.

14) Economics - Select Proppant / Refine Job Size Estimate


Some very simple economics can be used to start refining treatment design. Assume a constant
rate of 500 MSCFD with a net gas price of $1.00 (USD)/MSCF after royalty, excise tax, etc. This
gives a gross income of $182,500/year, and, assuming an operating cost of $1,000/month, a net
revenue of $170,500/year. At a discount rate of 12%, this constant production would give a three
year PW12 of $450,000. This value will be used as the Present Worth, or Future Value (e.g., no costs
deducted), for an un-stimulated well.
Drilling and completion costs not including any stimulation treatments are estimated to be on
the order of $500,000. Propped fracture treatment costs are estimated from a service company bid,
and are broken down as follows:

Fluid ............................... $ 1.20 / US Gallon


Proppant ........................ Sand $0.15 / lb , ISP $1.00 / lb
Setup Charges ............... $120,000.00

Use the QUIK Simulator along with the "refined" estimates of 'H', 'E', and 'C" to design several
frac treatments. First, select a desired proppant concentration (perhaps 6 or 8 PPG) and proppant
type (20/40 Ottawa Sand or 20/40 Intermediate strength). Then select a range of fracture lengths
(½lengths) to consider based on the initial "FOI" computations. Finally, use the QUIK Model (in
DESIGN model) to determine the proppant/fluid volumes needed to create these fracture lengths,
and to determine the resulting fracture conductivity, Fcd, and FOI. Estimate a "Total Well Future
Value" by multiplying the 3-year figure above ($450,000) by the FOI; determine the Net Present
Value (NPV), DROI, etc., for the table below.

Fracture Design Goals:


Xf (feet) __________________________________________________________________________________
Proppant Concentration (PPG) _____________________________________________________________
Proppant Volume (M-LBS) _________________________________________________________________
Fluid Volume (M-GAL) _____________________________________________________________________
Proppant Type ____________________________________________________________________________
