Abstract Fractures are the prime conduits of flow for hydrocarbons in reservoir rocks. Identification and characterization of the fracture network yields valuable information for accurate reservoir evaluation. This study aims to portray the benefits and limitations for various existing fracture characterization methods and define strategic workflows for automated fracture characterization targeting both conventional and unconventional reservoirs separately. While traditional seismic provides qualitative information of fractures and faults on a macro scale, acoustics and other petrophysical logs provide a more comprehensive picture on a meso and micro level. High resolution image logs, with shallow depth of investigation are considered the industry standard for analysis of fractures. However, it is imperative to understand the framework of fracture in both near and far field. Various reservoir-specific collaborative workflows have been elucidated for a consistent evaluation of fracture network, results of which are further segregated using class-based machine learning techniques. This study embarks on understanding the critical requirements for fracture characterization in different lithological settings. Conventional reservoirs have good intrinsic porosity and permeability, yet presence of fractures further enhances the flow capacity. In clastic reservoirs, fractures provide an additional permeability assist to an already producible reservoir. In carbonate reservoirs, overall reservoir and production quality exclusively depends on presence of extensive fracture network as it quantitatively controls the fluid flow interactions among otherwise isolated vugs. Devoid of intrinsic porosity and permeability, the presence of open-extensive fractures is even more critical in unconventional reservoirs such as basement, shale-gas/oil and coal-bed methane, since it demarcates the reservoir zone and defines the economic viability for hydrocarbon exploration in reservoirs. Different forward modeling approaches using the best of conventional logs, borehole images, acoustic data (anisotropy analysis, borehole reflection survey and stoneley waveforms) and magnetic resonance logs have been presented to provide reservoir-specific fracture characterization. Linking the resolution and depth of investigation of different available techniques is vital for the determination of openness and extent of the fractures into the formation. The key innovative aspect of this project is the emphasis on an end-to-end suitable quantitative analysis of flow contributing fractures in different conventional and unconventional reservoirs. Successful establishment of this approach capturing critical information will be the stepping-stone for developing machine learning techniques for field level assessment.

Abstract Over the past decade, several models have been generated to predict Rate of Penetration (ROP) in real-time. In general, these models can be classified into two categories, model-driven (analytical models) and data-driven models (based on machine learning techniques), which is considered as cutting-edge technology in terms of predictive accuracy and minimal human interfering. Nevertheless, most existing machine learning models are mainly used for prediction, not optimization. The ROP ahead of the bit for a certain formation layer can be predicted with such methods, but the limitation of the applications of these techniques is to find an optimum set of operating parameters for the optimization of ROP. In this regard, two data-driven models for ROP prediction have been developed and thereafter have been merged into an optimizer model. The purpose of the optimization process is to seek the ideal combinations of drilling parameters that would lead to an improvement in the ROP in real-time for a given formation. This paper is mainly focused on describing the process of development to create smart data-driven models (built on MATLAB software environment) for real-time rate of penetration prediction and optimization within a sufficient time span and without disturbing the drilling process, as it is typically required by a drill-off test. The used models here can be classified into two groups: two predictive models, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Random Forest (RF), in addition to one optimizer, namely genetic algorithm. The process started by developing, optimizing, and validation of the predictive models, which subsequently were linked to the genetic algorithm (GA) for real-time optimization. Automated optimization algorithms were integrated into the process of developing the productive models to improve the model efficiency and to reduce the errors. In order to validate the functionalities of the developed ROP optimization model, two different cases were studied. For the first case, historical drilling data from different wells were used, and the results confirmed that for the three known controllable surface drilling parameters, weight on bit (WOB) has the highest impact on ROP, followed by flow rate (FR) and finally rotation per minute (RPM), which has the least impact. In the second case, a laboratory scaled drilling rig "CDC miniRig" was utilized to validate the developed model, during the validation only the previous named parameters were used. Several meters were drilled through sandstone cubes at different weights on bit, rotations per minute, and flow rates to develop the productive models; then the optimizer was activated to propose the optimal set of the used parameters, which likely maximize the ROP. The proposed parameters were implemented, and the results showed that ROP improved as expected.

The extensive development of unconventional reservoirs using horizontal drilling and multistage hydraulic fracturing has generated large volumes of reservoir characterization and production data. The analysis of this abundant data using statistical methods and advanced machine learning techniques can provide data-driven insights into well performance. Most predictive modelling studies have focused on the impact that different well completion and stimulation strategies have on well production but have not fully exploited the available in-situ rock property data to determine its role in reservoir productivity. In this study, we utilized machine learning techniques to rank rock mechanical properties, microseismic attributes, and stimulation parameters in the order of their significance for predicting natural gas production from an unconventional reservoir. The data for this study came from a hydraulically fractured well in the Marcellus Shale in Monongalia County, West Virginia. The data classes included measurements aggregated by well completion stage that included: 1) gas production; 2) well-log-derived measurements including bulk density, elastic moduli, shear impedance, compressional impedance, brittleness, and gamma measurements; 3) microseismic attributes; 4) Long Period Long Duration (LPLD) event counts; 5) fracture counts; and 6) stimulation parameters that included fluid injection volume and average pumping pressure. In this study to identify observable proxies for the drivers of gas production we evaluated five commonly used machine learning approaches including Multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS), Gaussian mixture model (GMM), Random forest (RF), Gradient boosting (GB), and Neural network (NN). We selected five variables including LPLD event count, seismogenic b-value, hydraulic diffusivity, cumulative moment, and fluid volume as the features most likely to impact gas productivity at the stage level in the study area. The data-driven selection of these parameters for their importance in determining gas production can help reservoir engineers design more effective hydraulic fracture treatments in the Marcellus Shale and other similar unconventional reservoirs.
