Multiple Hydraulic Fracturing of Deep Gas-Condensate Wells in Oman

Abstract

Abstract This paper describes the design, execution, and analysis of multiple hydraulic-fracturing treatments in deep gas-condensate wells in Oman. Improved fracture performance is being aggressively targeted to increase well productivity and reduce the number of wells initially required for the contractual production capacity of Oman's LNG plant that is currently under construction. In addition to using conventional fracture processes, engineers optimize fracture design by using both state-of-the-art dynamic gas-condensate reservoir modeling and fracture geometry modeling. They also analyze well-test data and discuss operational experience. P. 437
