Fracturing Fluid Evolution Plays a Major Role in Codell Refracturing Success
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Refracturing wells, completed in the Codell formation, has caused a resurrection in activity in the Wattenberg Field of the Denver-Juleseburg (D-J) Basin. HS Resources (HSR) has increased average oil and gas rates by greater than 500% by restimulating over 750 Codell wells. The evolution of applied fracturing fluid technology has played a major role in the success of the Codell refrac program.
This paper will identify and evaluate the benefits to well performance and economics gained from the evolution of fluids used in the Codell refracture program. In this effect, the fluid systems will be compared using treating pressure characteristics, production analysis, fluid properties, and rheological property evaluation via specialized testing apparatus and economic results.
