Abstract

Summary

A coupled hydraulic-geomechanical simulation is used to model hydraulic fracture growth and predict the corresponding microseismicity. Using a case study from the Horn River Basin, a quantitative match between the modeled and observed microseismic deformation is used to calibrate a reconstruction of the hydraulic fracture network that reconciles the geological and geomechanical earth model with the fracture engineering. The calibrated fracture model includes an estimate of the propped portion of the fracture network and can then be used to investigate alternate designs to optimize the well, completion and injection to maximize the conductive fracture and thereby reservoir drainage.
