- a system can include a plug tool that is degradable at least in part and one or more degradable plugs (e.g., balls, cylinders, etc.).
- FIG. 2 shows an example of a model 21 0 of a fracturing operation and an example of plugs (e.g., balls, etc.) as may be used in a fracturing operation 250, for example, to generate fractures in an environment according to the model 210.
- plugs e.g., balls, etc.
- a geologic environment may be artificially fractured to increase flow of fluid from a reservoir to a well.
- Hydraulic fracturing where fluid pressure is applied to a subterranean environment to generate fractures that can act as flow channels. Hydraulic fracturing may be planned in advance, for example, to develop a region, which may be referred to as a drainage area. Hydraulic fracturing may be analyzed during or post-fracturing. As an example, hydraulic fracturing may occur in stages where a later stage may be planned at least in part based on information associated with one or more earlier stages. [0036] In Fig.
- the model 21 0 includes a horizontal well intersected by multiple transverse vertical hydraulic fractures. Equations may be associated with the model 210 such as, for example, equations that depend on dimensions and properties of the vertical fractures.
- Equations may be associated with the model 210 such as, for example, equations that depend on dimensions and properties of the vertical fractures.
- a trilinear model that includes equations for analysis of low-permeability (e.g., micro- and nano-Darcy range) fractured shale reservoirs according to three linear flow regions.
- Such a model may help to characterize a drainage area completed with one or more horizontal wells that intersect multiple transverse vertical fractures.
- Such a model may assist with planning and other aspects of field development, operations, etc.
- a model can include constructs that model, for example, a matrix, a well, natural fractures, hydraulic fractures, activated fractures and a stimulated inter-hydraulic fracture region.
- the model 210 may encompass a drainage area, for example, defined as covering a surface area and as having a depth or depths. Given parameter values for the various constructs (e.g., locations, characteristics, etc.), the model 210 may be formulated with respect to a grid to form a numerical model suitable for providing solutions via a numerical solver.
- a method can includes a delivery block for delivering fluid to a subterranean environment, a monitor block for monitoring fluid pressure and a generation block for generating fractures via fluid pressure.
- the generation block may include activating one or more fractures.
- the generation block may include generating and activating fractures.
- activation may occur with respect to a pre-existing feature such as a fault or a fracture.
- a pre-existing fracture network may be at least in part activated via a method that includes applying fluid pressure in a subterranean environment. The foregoing method may be referred to as a treatment method or a "treatment".
- Such a method may include pumping an engineered fluid (e.g., a treatment fluid) at high pressure and rate into a reservoir via one or more bores, for example, to one or more intervals to be treated, which may cause a fracture or fractures to open (e.g., new, pre-existing, etc.).
- an engineered fluid e.g., a treatment fluid
- Such a method may include pumping an engineered fluid (e.g., a treatment fluid) at high pressure and rate into a reservoir via one or more bores, for example, to one or more intervals to be treated, which may cause a fracture or fractures to open (e.g., new, pre-existing, etc.).
- a fracture may be defined as including "wings" that extend outwardly from a bore. Such wings may extend away from a bore in opposing directions, for example, according in part to natural stresses within a formation.
- proppant such as grains of sand of a particular size, may be mixed with a treatment fluid to keep a fracture (or fractures) open when a treatment is complete. Hydraulic fracturing may create high-conductivity
- stimulation treatment may occur in stages. For example, after completing a first stage, data may be acquired and analyzed for planning and/or performance of a subsequent stage.
- Size and orientation of a fracture, and the magnitude of the pressure to create it may be dictated at least in part by a formation's in situ stress field.
- a stress field may be defined by three principal compressive stresses, which are oriented perpendicular to each other. The magnitudes and orientations of these three principal stresses may be determined by the tectonic regime in the region and by depth, pore pressure and rock properties, which determine how stress is transmitted and distributed among formations.
- a sudden drop in pressure can indicate fracture initiation of a stimulation treatment, as fluid flows into the fractured formation.
- fracture initiation pressure exceeds a sum of the minimum principal stress plus the tensile strength of the rock.
- fracture closure pressure a process may allow pressure to subside until it indicates that a fracture has closed.
- a fracture reopening pressure may be determined by pressurizing a zone until a leveling of pressure indicates the fracture has reopened. The closure and reopening pressures tend to be controlled by the minimum principal compressive stress (e.g., where induced downhole pressures exceed minimum principal stress to extend fracture length).
- a zone may be pressurized for furthering stimulation treatment.
- a zone may be pressurized to a fracture propagation pressure, which is greater than a fracture closure pressure.
- the difference may be referred to as the net pressure, which represents a sum of frictional pressure drop and fracture-tip resistance to propagation (e.g., further propagation).
- a method may include seismic monitoring during a treatment operation (e.g., to monitor fracture initiation, growth, etc.). For example, as fracturing fluid forces rock to crack and fractures to grow, small fragments of rock break, causing tiny seismic emissions, called microseisms.
- Equipment may be positioned in a field, in a bore, etc. to sense such emissions and to process acquired data, for example, to locate microseisms in the subsurface (e.g., to locate
- Information as to direction of fracture growth may allow for actions that can "steer" a fracture into a desired zone(s) or, for example, to halt a treatment before a fracture grows out of an intended zone.
- fracturing may be performed by using plugs, which may be shaped as balls (e.g., spheres). In such an example, openings may be plugged, for example, to preferentially direct fluid.
- plugs which may be shaped as balls (e.g., spheres).
- openings may be plugged, for example, to preferentially direct fluid.
- the operation 250 while illustrated as being vertical in Fig. 2, may be horizontal or at another deviated angle.
- the plugs have properties suited to such an operation and, for example, one or more subsequent operations.
- Properties may include mechanical properties and may include one or more other types of properties (e.g., chemical, electrical, etc.).
- a plug may be desirable that a plug degrade, that a plug seat degrades, that at least a portion of a borehole tool degrades, etc.
- a plug may be manufactured with properties such that the plug degrades when exposed to one or more conditions. In such an example, where the plug acts to block a passage, upon degradation, the passage may become unblocked.
- a plug or other component may degrade in a manner that facilitates one or more operations.
- a component or a portion of a component may degrade in stages. For example, consider a plug that degrades from a first size to a second smaller size. In such an example, the second smaller size may allow the plug to move (e.g., from a first seat to a second seat, etc.).
- a plug seat may be degradable and degrade to a predefined size that may allow passage of a plug. For example, consider a plug seat of a plug tool, which may be a tracing related plug tool, a cementing related plug tool, etc.
