完整的论文总结了一项协作行业研究的结果，该研究涉及七个运营商和四个不同页岩气区的 10 个平台规模数据集。本文特别关注米德兰和特拉华盆地的数据集的子集。该项目有三个主要目标：比较和对比数据集和流域之间的观察结果，开发对母井和子井相互作用的一般见解，并为每个操作员和数据集提供定制的经济优化建议。模拟结果表明，可以根据每家公司的目标和价格方案，通过定制选择井距、作业规模和着陆深度来优化经济绩效。
建模方法。模拟是通过完全集成的水力压裂、井眼、地质力学和油藏模拟器进行的。
The complete paper summarizes results from a collaborative industry study involving seven operators and 10 pad-scale data sets across four different shale plays. The paper specifically focuses on a subset of the data sets from the Midland and Delaware Basins. The project had three main objectives: compare and contrast observations between data sets and basins, develop general insights into parent- and child-well interactions, and provide customized economic optimization recommendations for each individual operator and data set. The simulations reveal that economic performance can be optimized with customized selection of well spacing, job size, and landing depth based on each company’s objectives and price deck.
Modeling Approach. The simulations were performed with a fully integrated hydraulic fracturing, wellbore, geomechanics, and reservoir simulator.
