In their quest to drive greater efficiency and productivity from their well completions, operators have traditionally focused on measures to minimize the nonproductive time (NPT). But when it comes to understanding what makes one hydraulically fractured well a better producer than another, the industry needs another metric.
Seismos has developed an innovative, noninvasive controlled acoustic pulse technology that measures a novel metric known as the near-field connectivity index (NFCI). The company’s studies have shown that NFCI, which is a direct measurement of flow resistance in the near-wellbore region of a fractured well, is the best representative measure of per-stage production.
In a series of real-field examples, the company has shown that high and consistent NFCI values are the best indication of optimal production rates across a lateral. These studies also correlated how NFCI is impacted by a number of factors:
