Abstract
A system can receive data that can indicate a flow rate with respect to perforations in a reference wellbore. The data can be received from a fiber optic cable in the reference wellbore in a geographic area of interest. The system can determine a uniformity index, which can indicate a uniformity of flow with respect to the perforations, based on the data. The system can generate a pressure-based model by training a model using the uniformity index for applying the pressure-based model to a target wellbore in the geographic area of interest to determine controls to rate and proppant with respect to the target wellbore.
Claims14
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a pressure-based model trained using a uniformity index based on data received from a fiber optic cable in a reference wellbore in a geographic area of interest, wherein the uniformity index is determined for each perforation cluster of a plurality of perforation clusters of the reference wellbore, wherein the uniformity index indicates a uniformity of flow for each perforation of each perforation cluster of the plurality of perforation clusters with respect to other perforation clusters included in the plurality of perforation clusters;
- receiving, by the computing device, data indicating pressure with respect to a target wellbore in the geographic area of interest;
- applying, by the computing device, the pressure-based model to the data to determine an estimated uniformity index of the target wellbore;
- and
- outputting, by the computing device, commands to adjust a completion operation with respect to the target wellbore based on the estimated uniformity index.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by a processing device for causing the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving data from a fiber optic cable in a reference wellbore in a geographic area of interest, the data indicating a flow rate with respect to a plurality of perforation clusters in the reference wellbore;
- determining a uniformity index for each perforation cluster of the plurality of perforation clusters based on the data, the uniformity index indicating a uniformity of flow for each perforation of each perforation cluster of the plurality of perforation clusters with respect to other perforation clusters included in the plurality of perforation clusters;
- generating a pressure-based model by training a model using the uniformity index for applying the pressure-based model to a target wellbore in the geographic area of interest;
- receiving data indicating pressure with respect to the target wellbore in the geographic area of interest;
- applying the pressure-based model to the data indicating pressure with respect to the target wellbore to determine an estimated uniformity index of the target wellbore;
- and
- outputting commands to adjust a completion operation with respect to the target wellbore based on the estimated uniformity index.
