Perforation friction modeling in limited entry fracturing using artificial neural network

The effect of perforation friction on hydraulic fracturing treating pressure is normally considered negligible. However; this is not the case in limited entry fracturing. In limited entry fracturing, perforation friction is utilized to attain large frictional pressure drop. During the treatment inje...

description The effect of perforation friction on hydraulic fracturing treating pressure is normally considered negligible. However; this is not the case in limited entry fracturing. In limited entry fracturing, perforation friction is utilized to attain large frictional pressure drop. During the treatment injection, the frictional pressure offsets the stress differences between the zones to ensure fluid injection through every perforation in each interval. The major constraint with this diversion mechanism is perforations erosion when proppant laden slurry pumped through it. The purpose of this paper is to provide a new model to assess the perforation friction after perforation erosion by proppant laden slurry. The methodology involves the application of artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the final hydraulic perforation diameter. In order to train, validate and test the proposed ANN model; real field data of limited entry fracturing treatments have been used. The paper reviews the previous research progress on the assessment of perforation friction. A comparison between the new proposed ANN model and the previous perforation friction correlations demonstrates that the results from ANN model are the most reliable estimation of perforation friction real data.
