Integrating Microseismic Mapping and Complex Fracture Modeling to Characterize Fracture Complexity
2012
Microseismic mapping (MSM) has shown that the occurrence of complex fracture growth is much more common than
initially anticipated and is becoming more prevalent with the increased development of unconventional reservoirs (shale-gas).
The nature and degree of fracture complexity must be clearly understood to select the best stimulation design and completion
strategy. Although MSM has provided significant insights into hydraulic fracture complexity, in many cases the
interpretation of fracture growth has been limited due to the absence of evaluative and predictive hydraulic fracture models.
