Bringing a Well on Line

Stevens et al., 2000, used simulations to indicate the importance of how wells are brought on line, for explicitly controlling the initiation of hydraulic fractures when thermal effects have changed in-situ stresses. In long horizontal injectors, multiple fractures may be created or fracturing may be concentrated only at the heel of the well. These applications demand explicit coupling with wellbore simulators to forecast bottomhole temperature and pressure at the sand face.

<Conformance Conformance and Sweep   Controlled injection into multiple zones is frequently important to preserve longterm injectivity and to provide an effective means for pressure maintenance and supplemental sweep.
