Latest Patents
Jamie Mcinnis holds a patent for "Completions for triggering fracture networks in shale wells." This patent focuses on techniques in horizontal well completions that facilitate multistage fracturing in shale gas reservoirs. The methods involve creating large-scale fracture networks that connect the reservoir and the wellbore by activating pre-existing natural fractures. Additionally, the geo-mechanical characteristics of the formations are optimized to maximize stimulated reservoir volumes. The patent outlines completion optimization patterns for horizontal wellbores, known as altered alternate fracturing completions. These patterns may include a multi-step combination of simultaneous and alternate fracturing techniques. Furthermore, the dynamic evolution of natural fracture growth is modeled using various criteria, and specific analyses are provided on how well completion patterns influence the fracture network. The patent also details a combination of perforation parameters and approaches for real-time control of fluid injection rates to induce stresses conducive to forming complex fracture networks.
