Abstract

The disclosure pertains to the increasing the amount of stimulated efficiency and production from a given well area by determining a number of diverter slugs and the timing for the injection of the slugs for the given well area. A number of data sets are determined using Monte Carlo analysis, each data set including a quantity of diversion slugs and the timing for the injection of the diversion slugs. A simulation is performed on a plurality of the data sets to determine the production outcome of employing the data set in a stimulation job. The results of the simulation are used to determine the optimized data set for the stimulation job.
