Determining a Target Net Treating Pressure for a Subterranean Region

摘要

In some aspects, a target net treating pressure for an injection treatment of a subterranean region is determined. Fracture growth orientation in a subterranean region is modeled by a computer system. In the model, the fracture growth is a response to fluid pressure acting on the subterranean region. A target net treating pressure for fluid acting on the subterranean region during an injection treatment of the subterranean region is determined based on the modeled fracture growth orientations.

1. An injection treatment design method comprising:
modeling, by a computer system, fracture growth in a subterranean region, the modeled fracture growth indicating a fracture growth orientation in response to a modeled fluid pressure acting on the subterranean region; and determining, based on the fracture growth orientation, a target net treating pressure for fluid acting on the subterranean region during an injection treatment of the subterranean region.
