2d Structural and Properties Modeling Using Limited Datasets Leads to Optimized Completion Design.

Wolfcamp shale operator uses Mangrove engineered stimulation design to overcome casing size limitations and determine ideal targets based on geomechanical properties.

Characteristics of the Wolfcamp formation in the Delaware basin include heterogeneous rock properties, high pressure, and high clay content. Because of these challenges, many of the horizontal wells Clayton Williams Energy completed were not executed as planned. To make the stimulation treatments more effective, the operator approached SLB to acquire measurements in the lateral and customize the completion design.
