Certain aspects and features relate to a system that projects an optimized foam-fluid-application scenario for to stimulate production from a hydrocarbon well. The optimized scenario can include a recommended chemical make-up for the foam entity as well as application parameters such those related to timing and duration. A hybrid discrete fracture network and multi-porosity (DFN-MP) model for fluid interaction with the formation where the well is located can be produced by a processing device. The hybrid DFN-MP model can be optimized using field simulation data for the formation. The optimized hybrid DFN-MP model can be used by the processing device to produce an optimized foam-fluid-application scenario, which can be communicated to at least one well and can be utilized to stimulate the well for increased production.

Optimized foam application for hydrocarbon well stimulation

Methods for designing and performing a treatment operation on a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore are provided, in which the treatment operation includes the use of a treatment fluid comprising reactants for a chemical reaction. The methods generally include the step of obtaining wellbore temperature-profile information on the wellbore and obtaining kinetic or thermodynamic data for the chemical reaction, and combining the information to help design the treatment operation. Preferably, the methods include the use of a distributed temperature system ('DTS') for gaining temperature-profile information for a wellbore.
