This presentation will outline the manner in which valuable log data is used to design and evaluate well extensive fracture stimulation treatments today in the North sea. We will cover the wide range of information is typically required to design such treatments and how formation evaluation techniques are used to provide critical input. Fracture treatment execution will be outlined and again show various techniques both real-time and post job to evaluate the treatment progress and production result.
After obtaining a Bsc Honors degree in Engineering in Aberdeen Mark Norris joined Schlumberger in 1982 and has spent 23 years in well-site operations and engineering the last 18 years in well stimulation (hydraulic fracturing and acidisation) both in the North Sea and abroad (Middle East, North Africa, & USA). He served as an SPE Distinguished Lecturer in 2000 and has authored/co-authored a number of papers regarding well stimulation design/techniques. Presently he holds the position of Principal Technical engineer for Stimulation within Schlumberger DCS in Aberdeen.
