Pinnacle Technologies Fracture Diagnostics for Mapping Hydraulic Fractures

Pinnacle Technologies Inc., a partner with the Gas Technology Institute (GTI), and Petro-Canada invite you to participate in a Technology Information Session.  This session will present an overview of hydraulic fracturing diagnostics including: surface tiltmeter fracture mapping, downhole tiltmeter fracture mapping, and microseismic fracture mapping.

Date:   Thursday, February 21, 2002
Time:   8:00 to 11:00 a.m. (Breakfast Provided) 
Location PanCanadian Amphitheatre, Room 260, Tower Centre, 2nd Level
131-9th Ave. SE, Calgary, AB
  
Background

After nearly a decade of mapping hydraulic fracture geometry, we are still often humbled by fracture complexity and the lack of dimensional correlation to fracture models in many areas.  The ability to incorporate measured fracture dimensions along with net pressure matching and other data remains the industry ideal so that a 3-D model can be calibrated which accurately predicts fracture geometry resulting from a specific treatment.  Pinnacle Technologies maps fracture geometry on more than 1500 fracs per year in many different reservoirs and will describe the technologies available to map hydraulic fractures using real-world cases where fracture diagnostics have been incorporated with net pressure and other data to develop calibrated fracture models and optimize fracturing projects.

Session Description
This session will cover Pinnacle’s award-winning suite of direct diagnostics includes: surface tiltmeter fracture mapping, downhole tiltmeter fracture mapping, microseismic fracture mapping and PermPT Coal Bed Methane Testing. Both microseismic and tiltmeter mapping can be performed in real-time to facilitate on-site treatment optimization. Pinnacle's diagnostic tools have been employed to monitor propped and unpropped fracture treatments in vertical and horizontal wells, secondary and enhanced oil recovery processes, subsurface waste disposal and geotechnical monitoring.
