Abstract
Techniques for determining a fracture driven interaction include identifying pressure response data from one or more pressure sensors that are in direct fluid communication with a fluid at least partially enclosed within one or more monitor wellbores formed from a terranean surface to one or more subterranean formations; calculating at least one pressure response value from the pressure response data; determining the fracture driven interaction between the treatment wellbore and at least one of the one or more monitor wellbores based at least in part on the calculated at least one pressure response value; and preparing a graphic representation of the determined FDI for display on a graphical user interface.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- identifying, with one or more hardware processors, pressure response data from one or more pressure sensors, each of the one or more pressure sensors in direct fluid communication with a fluid at least partially enclosed within one or more monitor wellbores formed from a terranean surface to one or more subterranean formations, the pressure response data comprising a recordable change in pressure of the fluid in response to a hydraulic fracturing treatment in a treatment wellbore formed from the terranean formation to initiate one or more hydraulic fractures from the treatment wellbore into the one or more subterranean formations;
- calculating, with the one or more hardware processors, at least one pressure response value from the pressure response data;
- determining, with the one or more hardware processors, a fracture driven interaction (FDI) between the treatment wellbore and at least one of the one or more monitor wellbores based at least in part on the calculated at least one pressure response value;
- and
- preparing, with the one or more hardware processors, a graphic representation of the determined FDI for display on a graphical user interface (GUI).
A computing system, comprising:
- one or more memory modules;
- and
- one or more hardware processors communicably coupled to the one or more memory modules and configured to execute instructions stored in the one or more memory modules to perform operations comprising:
- identifying pressure response data from one or more pressure sensors, each of the one or more pressure sensors in direct fluid communication with a fluid at least partially enclosed within one or more monitor wellbores formed from a terranean surface to one or more subterranean formations, the pressure response data comprising a recordable change in pressure of the fluid in response to a hydraulic fracturing treatment in a treatment wellbore formed from the terranean formation to initiate one or more hydraulic fractures from the treatment wellbore into the one or more subterranean formations;
- calculating at least one pressure response value from the pressure response data;
- determining a fracture driven interaction (FDI) between the treatment wellbore and at least one of the one or more monitor wellbores based at least in part on the calculated at least one pressure response value;
- and
- preparing a graphic representation of the determined FDI for display on a graphical user interface (GUI).
