Industry Papers
This paper describes a novel process that uses standard drilling data obtained during the drilling of an infill well to identify induced hydraulic fractures that were created during the stimulation of a legacy well.
This paper presents a new analytical workflow that combines the use of drilling-derived rock properties and fracture treatment responses to gain important insights and drive future decisions for both the drilling and completion processes.

Case Studies
Depleted Fracture Identification
This Wolfcamp operator used Drill2Frac’s DFI service in combination with Volume to First Response (VFR) measurements to determine whether fracture interactions were possible with existing wells. The solution identified a significant number of fractures the operator was then able to avoid when planning the fracture treatment in nearby wells.
Multiple Data Types
An operator in the San Andres needed to optimize cluster placement in the transition zone to minimize fracture growth into the water zones below. Drill2Frac utilized a combination of OmniLog® to identify rock-strength heterogeneity, incorporate mud-gas mass spectrometry data and PerfAct™ flow simulation to successfully position perforation clusters with like rocks.
Engineered Diversion
Drill2Frac’s Engineered Diversion application combines OmniLog® lateral profile with PerfAct™ flow simulation to create a solution that resulted in 88% successful diversion drops on this customer well. Also, the number of screen-outs were just one-third compared to results in two offset wells that did not use the Drill2Frac solution.
