Fracture Pressure Analysis and Perforation Design
Abstract
This chapter begins with basic concepts around pressure analysis used in the oil and gas industry including hydrostatic pressure, hydrostatic pressure gradient, instantaneous shut-in pressure, fracture pressure gradient, and bottom-hole treating pressure. Next, total friction including pipe, perforation, and near-wellbore friction pressure is defined. Perforation design and efficiency is also discussed in this chapter. At the end of this chapter discussions are extended to fracture extension pressure, closure pressure, net pressure, and surface-treating pressure.
