SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING OPTIMIZED DOWNHOLE STIMULATION OPERATIONS

摘要

A method of performing a stimulation operation for an unconventional wellsite having natural fractures and hydraulic fractures. The method involves providing at least one treatment parameter with a corresponding objective function value and performing a fracture operation based on the treatment parameter. The fracture operation involves defining a treatment schedule, conducting a hydraulic fracture operation, and estimating production. The objective function value is based on an objective function. The method also involves modifying the treatment parameter and performing the fracture operation based on the modified treatment parameter. The modified treatment parameter has a corresponding modified objective function value based on the objective function. The method continues with optimizing the treatment operation by comparing the objective function value with the modified objective function value, and repeating the modifying and optimizing for new modified treatment parameters until convergence about a desired outcome whereby an optimized parameter is defined at convergence.
