US 2025/0369352 A1 · CONTROLLING RESISTANCE IN WELL SYSTEM

Abstract

A method for determining a new factor vector for a first hydraulic fracture treatment in a wellbore. The method may include determining, based on one or more first pressure pulses, a first current resistance in the well during the first hydraulic fracture treatment; determining a second factor vector based, at least in part, on a first factor vector and the first current resistance and a target resistance; implementing the second factor vector in the wellbore; determining, based on one or more second pressure pulses, a second current resistance in the well during the first hydraulic fracture treatment; determining whether the second current resistance is above a resistance threshold; and in response to the second current resistance being above the resistance threshold, determining a third factor vector.
