Optimizing production with Economic Conductivity®
Using realistic downhole conditions helps maximize ROI.
There are basic models used to try to determine a well’s production capacity given a particular stimulation treatment. But the problem with simple models is that they are simply wrong.
CARBO engineers have developed a sophisticated analysis that factors in complex variables and downhole conditions such as closure stress, non-darcy flow, multiphase flow, fluid velocity and cyclic stress to determine the realistic conductivity of the reservoir.
The costs of hydraulic fracturing and other stimulation activities can then be assessed according to the corresponding increases in production, allowing producers to achieve the most cost-efficient production of oil and gas. This analysis is called Economic Conductivity®.
As an example, more than 100 field studies showed that optimizing the choice of proppant increased fracture conductivity and well productivity by 20 to 30%, as well as increasing the estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) by 30%.
CARBO conducts Economic Conductivity analyses to individually optimize fracture treatments and deliver the best return on investment.
