APPLYING HYDRAULIC FRACTURING IN EXTENDING PERFORATION LENGTH

"Applying Hydraulic Fracturing In Extending Perforation Length" is a final year project which consist of two parts, gather relevant literature data and simulate pressure transient. The main outcome is to evaluate the hydraulic fracturing treatment effectiveness in extending perforation penetration. The core of this project is simulation using pressure and production rate history in order to obtain reservoir data before and after hydraulic fracturing. The author has divided Final Year Project I (FYP I) into two phases namely, (1) Write literature review on the project, (2) Gather raw data on real case study continuously for the whole FYP 1. In Final Year Project 2 (FYP 2), it is the continuous from FYP 1 and focusing on full analysis of pressure and production rate data from real well. Kappa Saphir Well Test Software is the main tool for this project. Analysis can be performing after run the pressure and production data in the software. Firstly is analysis on the well test job sequence. During this part, the author will separate the fluctuation of plotted pressure data history accordingly to operation or job done following the time period. Thus, the author can know the response of the pressure towards the job done by engineer. Second, the author does the analysis on pressure transient. In this period, selected reservoir model and type curve will try to be match with the plotted pressure. As the model match, the well properties can be estimated. The analysis will be performing on pressure and production data before and after hydraulic fracturing treatment. For the last part, the author will evaluate the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing. After gone through with this project, the author conclude that hydraulic fracturing can increase the production from a reservoir and perforation length as well as reservoir properties are changing after performed hydraulic fracturing
