Hello,
I am trying to design a hydraulic fracture for a zone that I am working on.
The zone is a shallow(550m) low pressure(550psi) silty channel. Porosity of about 27%. From a buildup test s=3.6, k=3.3mD, kh=14.7mDm.
I am designing for low rate feed to hopefully give a long fracture lenght. From a geology standpoint the two things im worried about are fines migration and possible plasticy of the formation closing around the propant to decrease conductivity.
So far the fracs I am possibly considering are 10tonne energized C02, N2 foam frac, gelled hydrocarbon.
I am new to frac design. I have gotten a few reccomendations from service companies but wondering if any one here has any ideas.
Thanks.
