Application of Mini Fracs

Saad Ibrahim, P. Engineer, President Petro Management Group

Interactive Workshops: May 23, 2018, Calgary AB
11:30am – 1:00pm

Application of Mini Fracs

Application of Mini Frac

With the significant increase in frac treatments for both vertical and Multi-stage Frac Hz Wells (MFHW’s), optimization of frac treatments has become very essential. Further, Mini Frac has become a requirement by the ERCB for steam injection in heavy oil projects, to ensure the integrity of the cap rock and to confirm the appropriate ceiling injection pressure. The following will be presented:

  1. Applications/benefits
  2. Types of analysis
    1. Diagnoses of types of Leak-off’s
    2. Pre-Frac Closure and After Closure Analyses (ACA)
  3. Case study from the Duvernay shale gas and other formations

The main objective of the talk is to illustrate how to extract the following key information;
used to fine tune frac treatments, as follow:

  1. Fracture Propagation Pressure (FPP) and Instantaneous Shut In Pressure (ISIP)
  2. Fracture Gradient (ISIP/depth) and Fracture Closure pressure (FCP)
  3. Identify leak-off mechanism and flow regimes

Typically this L&L starts at 11:30 am (complimentary lunch is offered by PMG) and the
technical presentation usually runs from 11:50 am until 12:50 noon, leaving 10 minutes
for questions.

Speaker: Mr. Saad Ibrahim, P. Eng. – or Hoshne Banu, P. Eng.
