Pressure controlled wellbore treatment

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• establishing a target net treating pressure for a wellbore treatment operation;
• establishing one or more operational constraints associated with the wellbore treatment operation;
• initiating the wellbore treatment operation by injecting a fluid in a wellbore of a formation based on the target net treating pressure;
• monitoring disposition of the fluid in the wellbore;
• adjusting an injection rate of the fluid to maintain a net treating pressure of the wellbore treatment operation at the target net treating pressure;
• receiving one or more measurements associated with the wellbore treatment operation;
• comparing the one or more measurements to the one or more operational constraints associated with the one or more measurements to determine if the wellbore treatment operation is performing within the one or more operational constraints;
• and
• in response to determining that the wellbore treatment operation is not performing within the one or more operational constraints, maintaining the net treating pressure of the wellbore treatment operation at the target net treating pressure as a constant net treating pressure by adjusting one or more treatment parameters based on the comparison, wherein the constant net treating pressure is maintained at a set point for a predetermined period of time.

A wellbore treatment system comprising:

• an injection system, wherein the injection system comprises one or more pumping units;
• and
• a computing subsystem, wherein the computing subsystem comprises:
• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory comprising one or more non-transitory executable instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:
• establish a target net treating pressure for a wellbore treatment operation;
• establish one or more operational constraints associated with the wellbore treatment operation;
• initiate the wellbore treatment operation by injecting a fluid in a wellbore of a formation based on the target net treating pressure;
• monitor disposition of the fluid in the wellbore;
• adjust an injection rate of the fluid to maintain a net treating pressure of the wellbore treatment operation at the target net treating pressure;
• receive one or more measurements associated with the wellbore treatment operation;
• compare the one or more measurements to the one or more operational constraints associated with the one or more measurements to determine if the wellbore treatment operation is performing within the one or more operational constraints;
• and
• in response to determining that the wellbore treatment operation is not performing within the one or more operational constraints, maintain the net treating pressure of the wellbore treatment operation at the target net treating pressure as a constant net treating pressure by adjusting one or more treatment parameters based on the comparison, wherein the constant net treating pressure is maintained at a set point for a predetermined period of time.
