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.
