Modeling Approach

Abstract Different applications of fracture bridging and diversion are used regularly in carbonate acid fracturing without an in-depth understanding of the physical phenomena that dominate the processes involved in the bridging and diversion process. The extension of modeling capabilities in conjunction with yard-scale and field-scale experiences will increase our understanding of these processes. A robust multimodal diversion pill and polylactic acid fiber-laden viscous acid were utilized for near-wellbore and far-field bridging, respectively. Numerous field treatments demonstrated the uncertainty of achieving effective diversion. An existing multiphysics model was extended to develop functionalities to model diversions at different scale. Extensive laboratory testing was conducted to understand the scale of bridging and diversion mechanisms. Finally, a bridging yard test was designed, and field case studies were used to integrate all the branches. Field cases showed a diversion pressure up to 4,000 psi depending on perforation strategy, pill volume, and pill seating rate. Correlations showed the interdependence of multiple parameters in diversion processes. The field studies motivated modeling capabilities to simulate the critical diversion processes at high resolution and quality. The model simulates diverting agents that reduce leakoff in the fracture area and their effects on fracture geometry. The approach considers the acid reaction kinetics coupled with geomechanics and fluid transport. Different diverting agent concentrations required for bridging can be modeled effectively. A yard test was designed to confirm the integrity of the pill material through completion valves (minimum inside diameter 9.5 mm) and analyzed with high-resolution imaging. All the theoretical, mathematical, and numerical findings from modeling were integrated with laboratory- and yard-scale experimentation results to develop and validate near-wellbore and far-field diversion modeling. Analytical correlations were formulated from injection rate, particulate material concentration, pill volumes, fracture width, etc., to incorporate and validate the model. This study enhances understanding of the different diversion mechanisms from high-fidelity theoretical modeling approach integrated with a practical experimental view at laboratory and field scale. Current comprehensive research has significant potential to make the modeling approach a reliable method to develop tight carbonate formations around the globe.
