Horizontal effects in fracturing operation of coal bed methane in Qinshui,Shanxi Province
Li Mengxi、Zhang Cong
This paper describes horizontal effects of CBM (coal bed methane)fracturing, obtained from microseismic monitoring in Qinshui Basin. It indicates that adjacent wells perpendicular to man-made fractures have adverse effects, including reduced production flow rate, depletion, and watering during fracturing operation simultaneously, while wells along manmade fractures response lag. This discovery shows that the horizontal compression of fracturing could have adverse impact on production of adjacent wells, and fracturing designer should be aware of it.
