摘要

Water injection and reservoir fluid production result inrnporoelastic stress changes that can dramatically alter therncreated fracture geometry on infill wells. This basicrnconclusion is not new. It has been documented in manyrndifferent environments, and is supported by theoreticalrnmodeling. However, this paper presents for the first time arnlarge data-set of 76 fracture treatments in a concentrated arearnthat not only shows stress reorientation, but also shows howrnfracture reorientation depends critically on the pattern ofrninjectors and producers and their interaction. This knowledgerncan be used to improve recovery in water injection projectsrnthat depend on closely spaced fractured wells.rnData is presented from 76 fracture stages in 16 infill wellsrncompleted within a one-year period in Chevron’s Lost Hillsrndiatomite waterflood. Surface tiltmeter fracture mappingrndetermined the fracture orientation (azimuth and dip) of therninduced fractures, consisting of a vertical fracture componentrnand a secondary sub-horizontal fracture component. Thisrndataset clearly shows that the interaction between injectorsrn(located in a line along preferred fracture azimuth) andrnproducers results in a large-scale stress perturbation,rnproducing a “room-and-pillar” stress structure. Both thernfracture azimuth and the degree of secondary sub-horizontalrnfracturing are controlled by the location of infill wells withrnrespect to nearby injector wells. Infill wells “inline” withrninjector wells yield fractures that grow close to the initialrnpreferred fracture orientation. In contrast, infill wells that arern“offset” from the line of injector wells yield highly variablernfracture azimuths (often rotating towards injector wells) andrngreatly increased secondary sub-horizontal fracturing – both ofrnwhich raise the risk of “short-circuiting” waterflood sweep.rnThe data is presented and phenomenologically explained. Arngeomechanical model explains the observed stress changes,rnallowing predictive modeling of various infill-drillingrnscenarios in waterfloods to optimize recovery.rnFor a number of project treatments, downhole tiltmeterrnfracture mapping was also used to evaluate fracturerndimensions, and fracture pressure analysis was performed tornlink tilt observations with treatment pressure behavior.rnPoroelastic effects have resulted in increased stressrnmagnitudes in some layers and decreased stress in others,rnimpacting the created fracture dimensions (height, length, andrnwidth). A summary of the mapped fracture dimensions andrnpressure analysis findings is presented together with a briefrndiscussion of the poroelastic impacts on fracture geometry.
