Abstract
A system for evaluating the flow of pressurized fluid flowing through perforation clusters in a wellbore casing of a hydraulic fracturing wellbore. The system can temporarily increase an intensity of acoustic emissions produced by the pressurized fluid flowing through the perforation clusters and can employ an optical fiber-based acoustic sensing system disposed on or in a monitoring well residing in the formation but remotely from the hydraulic fracturing well to measure the acoustic emissions while the intensity of the acoustic emissions is temporarily increased. The measured acoustic emissions can be converted into a total flow rate of the pressurized fluid flowing through the perforation clusters, which can in turn be used to calculate a cluster level uniformity index for the hydraulic fracturing well.
