发明名称 Method for real-time monitoring and transmitting hydraulic fracture seismic events to surface using the pilot hole of the treatment well as the monitoring well
摘要 A method of determining hydraulic fracture geometry of a zone of interest (21) in a reservoir (23), the method being characterized by the steps of: positioning an acoustic assembly (63) within a first wellbore (78) adjacent the zone of interest (21) in a reservoir (23), the first wellbore (78) drilled within a portion of the reservoir (23) to receive a hydraulic fracturing treatment defining the zone of interest (21), the acoustic assembly (63) including an acoustic receiver controller (61) and a set of one or more acoustic sensors (65) to capture fracture events within the zone of interest (21); inserting a drilling deflector (71) into the first wellbore (78); drilling a second wellbore (109) to receive a fracturing fluid; positioning a communication conduit bypass (101, 133; 103; 102, 93) within the first wellbore (78) to extend from a first location above an interface with the second wellbore (109) to a second location below the interface with the second wellbore (109); inductively coupling the acoustic receiver controller (61) to a first inductive coupler (102) connected to a first end of the communication conduit bypass (101, 133; 103; 102, 93), the first inductive coupler (102) positioned adjacent the second location below the lateral aperture (105); inductively coupling surface equipment (31, 38) to a second inductive coupler (101) connected to a second opposite end of the communication conduit bypass (101, 133; 103; 102, 93), the second inductive coupler (101) positioned adjacent the first location above the lateral aperture (105); and communicating real-time microseismic event data to a surface unit (31), the microseismic event data describing microseismic events detected by the acoustic assembly (63) when performing hydraulic fracturing of the reservoir (23) in the zone of interest (21) through the second wellbore (109).
