Abstract
A method can include receiving multiphase flow data via a multiphase flow meter during a flowback production period of a hydraulically fractured well that extends into a formation that includes formation fluid; determining one or more water properties during at least a portion of the flowback production period using the multiphase flow data and a predictive model; and, based on the determining, outputting values indicative of one or more of oil flow rate, gas flow rate, and water flow rate during the flowback production period.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving multiphase flow data via a multiphase flow meter during a flowback production period of a hydraulically fractured well that extends into a formation that comprises formation fluid;
- determining one or more water properties during at least a portion of the flowback production period using the multiphase flow data and a predictive model;
- and
- based on the determining, outputting values indicative of one or more of oil flow rate, gas flow rate, and water flow rate during the flowback production period.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- memory accessible to the processor;
- processor-executable instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to instruct the system to:
- receive multiphase flow data via a multiphase flow meter during a flowback production period of a hydraulically fractured well that extends into a formation that comprises formation fluid;
- perform a determination for one or more water properties during at least a portion of the flowback production period using the multiphase flow data and a predictive model;
- and
- based on the determination, output values indicative of one or more of oil flow rate, gas flow rate, and water flow rate during the flowback production period.
One or more computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions executable by a system to instruct the system to:
- receive multiphase flow data via a multiphase flow meter during a flowback production period of a hydraulically fractured well that extends into a formation that comprises formation fluid;
- perform a determination for one or more water properties during at least a portion of the flowback production period using the multiphase flow data and a predictive model;
- and
- based on the determination, output values indicative of one or more of oil flow rate, gas flow rate, and water flow rate during the flowback production period.
