COMPLETION GEOMECHANICS PRODUCTION PREDICTOR FOR FRACTURING HORIZONTAL WELLS IN RESERVOIRS

Abstract: methods and systems are configured for receiving well production data from fractured wells in a reservoir; estimating, using data from fracking tests on previous wells, values of geomechanics factors for the one or more fractured wells in the reservoir; generating, based on the well production data and the values of the geomechanics factors, a weighting value associated with each geomechanics factor, the weighting value relating a change in a short term production value of a fractured well to a change in the value of that geomechanics factor at the fractured well; selecting a horizontal well in the reservoir; generating fraccability predictor values representing ease of fracturing at respective intervals of the horizontal well; determining a production prediction for the horizontal well; and based on the production prediction, determining, a cluster spacing in the horizontal well, a stage depth in the horizontal well, or both.
